The length of the probate process in Florida depends on the type of proceeding. There are two primary types of probate in Florida: formal probate administration and summary probate administration. In addition, in limited circumstances, disposition without administration may be available as an option. Formal probate administration typically takes between six and nine months from start to finish. Summary probate administration, which is reserved for estates worth less than $75,000 that have no debt, can take as little as one month to complete.
