Estates

Summary

The bill updates Florida law so that a personal representative can quickly retrieve a decedent’s safe‑deposit box contents by presenting court‑issued letters of authority. It also creates a new cause of action that lets a representative recover attorney fees and court costs when they must go to court to enforce their powers. These changes aim to speed up estate administration and ensure fair compensation for lawyers handling contested matters.
