Serving as Personal Representative after a Felony Conviction

Summary

The bill amends Florida law so a parent, spouse, child or grandchild of a deceased person who has a felony conviction and is not in prison can be appointed as the estate’s personal representative if no other same‑degree relatives are available. Courts must evaluate the petitioner using a list of factors, including the nature of the felony, relationship to the decedent, and evidence of rehabilitation. The measure failed and did not become law.
