How probate works in Citrus County
Here's how a probate case usually moves in Citrus County. Knowing where you are on this timeline tells you how much room you have to sell.
Open probate
A petition is filed in the probate division of the Citrus County Circuit Court (5th Judicial Circuit). The court decides between summary administration and formal administration.
Summary or formal
Summary administration is available if the estate subject to administration (less exempt property) is $75,000 or less, or the person died more than two years ago (s. 735.201).
Personal representative
In formal administration the court issues Letters of Administration naming the personal representative, who can then act for the estate.
Creditor period
Notice to creditors is published; most claims must be filed within 3 months of first publication (s. 733.702).
Sell the house
If the will grants a power of sale, the personal representative can usually sell; otherwise the court may need to approve it. Protected homestead follows special rules.
