Estates

Summary

The bill amended several Florida statutes to give personal representatives broader authority to manage a decedent’s estate, including easier access to safe‑deposit boxes and the ability to act without a court order in many situations. It also created a new process for courts to award costs and attorney fees when a representative’s authority is enforced, and required clearer fee disclosures from estate attorneys. The changes were intended to speed up probate and reduce litigation.
