How long does a summary probate administration take?
The length of time a summary probate administration takes depends on what county in Florida the probate will be in, and, in some counties, the individual judge. The normal summary probate administration takes four to six weeks; in a few cases it takes four months. If the property owner has been dead more than two years, a summary administration is fairly predictable, and orders are normally obtained within four weeks of filing the petition if there is no will or if the will is self-proving.
