Disposition of Personal Property Without Administration
by: Staff FALDP

Summary Administration of Estate is for small estates valued at less than $75,000. Disposition of Personal Property without Administration is for very small estates, and meant to reimburse family members for out of pocket expenses related to the death of a relative. The clerks of court are supposed to assist consumers with this form.

Florida Statute - 735.301 Disposition without administration.—

(1) No administration shall be required or formal proceedings instituted upon the estate of a decedent leaving only personal property exempt under the provisions of s. 732.402, personal property exempt from the claims of creditors under the Constitution of Florida, and nonexempt personal property the value of which does not exceed the sum of the amount of preferred funeral expenses and reasonable and necessary medical and hospital expenses of the last 60 days of the last illness.

(2) Upon informal application by affidavit, letter, or otherwise by any interested party, and if the court is satisfied that subsection (1) is applicable, the court, by letter or other writing under the seal of the court, may authorize the payment, transfer, or disposition of the personal property, tangible or intangible, belonging to the decedent to those persons entitled.

(3) Any person, firm, or corporation paying, delivering, or transferring property under the authorization shall be forever discharged from liability thereon.
