Streamline Your Estate Settlement with Jacksonville's Summary Administration Experts
Are you facing the complex task of settling a loved one's estate in Jacksonville, Florida?
Summary administration offers a simplified probate process for qualifying estates, but navigating the legal requirements can be daunting. Sibley Law & Associates, PLLC, led by Attorney Dee Sibley, provides the experienced guidance you need to efficiently and effectively manage this process.
Understanding Summary Administration in Jacksonville
Summary administration is a streamlined probate procedure designed for smaller estates in Florida. It's a faster and less expensive alternative to formal administration, making it ideal for situations where the estate's value falls below a certain threshold or when specific criteria are met.
About Jacksonville Summary Administration:
In Jacksonville, like the rest of Florida, summary administration is available when:
- The value of the estate's assets, subject to probate, is $75,000 or less, excluding the homestead property.
- The decedent has been deceased for more than two years, regardless of the estate's value.
- All beneficiaries consent to the summary administration.
This process involves filing a petition with the probate court, outlining the estate's assets and beneficiaries. If approved, the court issues an order of summary administration, allowing for the distribution of assets without the need for extensive court supervision.
Key Benefits of Summary Administration:
- Reduced Costs: Summary administration typically involves lower court fees and attorney fees compared to formal administration.
- Faster Process: The streamlined nature of summary administration allows for a quicker distribution of assets to beneficiaries.
- Simplified Procedures: Less paperwork and fewer court appearances are required.
- Efficiency: Allows for a quicker and more efficient resolution of the estate.

I highly recommend Attorney Sibley. First of all, not knowing much about the process of estate planning she took the time to educate us. She was always there to answer our questions and walk us through the process. If you are looking for an attorney to help you with your estate planning I highly recommend you give Dedra Sibley at Sibley Law a call you won't be disappointed.

Attorney Sibley worked diligently with my mother on a lady bird deed. She took the time needed to educate us about the process of estate planning, something we weren't familiar with. She was patient, understanding, highly professional, and went above and beyond to support my mom on a not so easy journey. I am so grateful she was recommended to me and would without a doubt refer her to others. Because of my experience with my mom, my husband and I have also decided to obtain a trust to plan for our family. Thank you for all that you've done.
Alyscia Cunningham
I must share the HUGE benefit I have experienced from being referred to, and selecting, Attorney Dedra Sibley by our financial adviser. I am taking care of personal business for my mother -- Mom does not use a computer, however, Mom & I are 110% satisfied with the professional approach and attention to detail of Attorney Sibley and her staff have dedicated to updating Mom's estate plan prepared by another firm, which has recently closed. Mom and I both are most satisfied with EVERYTHING that Ms. Sibley has accomplished in addressing our needs. And to top all of Ms. Sibley's professionalism, she has been a very cost effective solution to our needs. So, call Dedra Sibley's office now!
