The Florida Supreme Court has established a Workgroup on Uncontested Probate Proceedings to make recommendations to “redesign and improve the efficiency and effectiveness of this state’s processes and procedures for uncontested probate proceedings.”

The court, in Administrative order AOSC24-20, noted the trial courts manage a considerable number of probate proceedings each year, many of which are uncontested.

“Resolution of such proceedings in a prompt and fair manner benefits litigants and the court system,” the court said. “Opportunities may exist to redesign and improve the effectiveness and efficiency of this state’s probate processes and procedures.”
