Under FL. Stat, section 733.705- Payment of and objection to claims, the personal representative must pay all claims within 1 year from the date of first publication of notice to creditors. More time is allowed for claims that end up in litigation, claims that have not matured, and contingent claims.
Once you file your statement of claim against an estate, the personal representative of the estate will either pay the claim, object to the claim, or attempt to settle the claim for some reduced amount. Other interested persons, such as beneficiaries, may also file objections to your claim.
The Average Length of Probate in Florida Generally speaking, probate can wrap up anywhere between four and twelve months, with an average time to settle an estate being half a year. As an executor of the estate, you must stay patient as the process can go over the average length due to many factors.
Creditors typically have three months from the date the notice is published to file claims against the estate.
Even with formal administration, most estates are resolved within 18 months. However, all claims against an estate must be filed within 2 years of the person's death.
