The names and addresses of the Personal Representative and the Personal Representative's attorneys are set forth below. The fiduciary lawyer-client privilege in Section 90.5021, Florida Statutes, applies with respect to the Personal Representative and any attorney employed by the Personal Representative.
Any interested person on whom a copy of the Notice of Administration is served must file with the Court, on or before the date that is three (3) months after the date of service of a copy of the Notice of Administration on that person, any objection that challenges the validity of the will, venue or jurisdiction of the Court. The 3-month time period may only be extended for estoppel based upon a misstatement by the Personal Representative regarding the time period within which an objection must be filed. The time period may not be extended for any other reason, including affirmative representation, failure to disclose information, or misconduct by the Personal Representative or any other person. Unless sooner barred by Section 733.212(3), Florida Statutes, all objections to the validity of the will, venue or the jurisdiction of the Court must be filed no later than the earlier of the entry of an order of final discharge of the Personal Representative or one (1) year after service of the Notice of Administration.
Persons who may be entitled to exempt property under Section 732.402, Florida Statutes, will be deemed to have waived their rights to claim that property as exempt property unless a Petition for Determination of Exempt Property is filed by such persons or on their behalf on or before the later of the date that is four (4) months after the date of service of a copy of the Notice of Administration on such persons or the date that is forty (40) days after the date of termination of any proceedings involving the construction, admission to probate, or validity of the will or involving any other matter affecting any part of the exempt property.
The Personal Representative has no duty to discover whether any property held at the time of the decedent’s death by the decedent or the decedent’s surviving spouse is property to which the Florida Uniform Disposition of Community Property Rights at Death Act as described in Sections 732.216 through 732.228, Florida Statutes, applies, or may apply, unless a written demand is made by the surviving spouse or a beneficiary as specified under Section 732.2211, Florida Statutes. The written demand must be filed with the clerk.
Unless an extension is granted pursuant to Section 732.2135(2), Florida Statutes, an election to take an elective share must be filed on or before the earlier of the date that is six (6) months after the date of service of a copy of the Notice of Administration on the surviving spouse, an attorney in fact or a guardian of the property of the surviving spouse; or the date that is two (2) years after the date of the Decedent’s death.
