Florida Probate Law Update: Summary Administration Limit Doubled Under House Bill1337

Significant changes took effect in Florida probate law on July 1, 2026. Under HB 1337, the ceiling for an estate to qualify for Summary Administration increased from $75,000 to $150,000 in non-exempt probate assets.

Why This Matters for Florida Families:
Summary administration provides a simplified alternative to the lengthy formal probate track.

Shorter Timeline & Streamlined Procedure: Unlike formal administration, the court does not have to formally appoint a personal representative (executor).

If you are currently settling a loved one's estate, our office can determine whether your family is eligible for this option.

When it comes to paying for long-term care, Medicaid is one of the most misunderstood programs. At Wolf Elder Law, we help families navigate Medicaid every day, and we want to set the record straight.

Do You Really Have to Spend Everything to Qualify for Medicaid?

While Medicaid does have strict income and asset limits, you do not need to spend everything you own to qualify. With proper planning, many of your assets can be protected. Elder law attorneys can utilize tools such as trusts and spend-down strategies to assist you in qualifying for Medicaid without having to lose everything.

Once You’re in a Nursing Home, It’s Too Late to Plan

It is never too late to plan. Even if your loved one is already receiving care, strategies exist to protect assets and apply for Medicaid. Many families are surprised to learn that last-minute planning can still save significant resources.

🐢 Sea Turtle Nesting Season Has Officially Begun!

As our beautiful Gulf Coast beaches welcome sea turtle nesting season, we’re reminded how special this time of year truly is. From now through October, sea turtles will return to our shores to lay their eggs under the moonlight.

If you’re visiting the beach, you can help protect these incredible creatures by:

• Turning off beachfront lights at night
• Filling in holes and knocking down sandcastles
• Keeping beaches clean and trash-free
• Giving nesting turtles and marked nests plenty of space
