What does a personal representative do in a Florida probate case?
July 22, 2026 – Daniel A. Seigel
A personal representative is a fiduciary under Florida law. That person is responsible for administering the decedent’s estate, carrying out the terms of the will when one exists, and acting in the best interests of the estate and interested persons, including creditors. When beneficiaries believe the personal representative has not met those duties, probate litigation may follow.
