What is a summary administration and why was it used here?

Summary administration is a shortened probate used for small estates or when property passes directly to beneficiaries; it was used because the estate consists of exempt protected homestead property assigned to beneficiaries.

When did the decedent die and how does that affect my claim deadline?

The decedent died August 15, 2025; any claim filed two years or more after that date is barred and other claim deadlines follow Fla. Stat. §733.702.

Who received the homestead property?

The homestead was assigned to beneficiaries Brian Schaefer (also trustee), Wayne Schaefer, and Glenn Schaefer as listed in the notice.
