Full administration is the standard probate process used when an estate is more complex or exceeds the limits for summary administration. It applies when the deceased owned property solely in their name, had significant debts, or when disputes arise among beneficiaries. While more detailed and time-consuming, it provides a formal structure to handle all aspects of the estate properly.
In full administration, a personal representative (also known as an executor) is appointed by the court to oversee the estate. This person is responsible for gathering and valuing assets, paying valid debts, filing taxes, and distributing what remains according to the will or Florida law. The process typically includes publishing creditor notices, obtaining court approvals for certain transactions, and filing a final accounting. It can take anywhere from several months to over a year, depending on the complexity of the estate.
