Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Florida
Summary administration (Florida)
I want to do summary administration process myself. In the summary process is a letter of administration given to the personal representative named in the will by the court so that he can open and administer a bank account in the name of the deceased estate? If not how can a bank account be opened by the personal representative named in the will in the name of the decease estate to receive and disburse assets that will be signed over to the estate?

Re: Summary administration (Florida)
In a summary administration, there is no personal representative appointed. The result is an order transferring specific assets to specific beneficiaries/heirs. Only in the formal or full probate is a personal representative given authority by the court to act. Until the court issues Letters Of Administration to the personal representative, no one has authority to do what you are seeking.
