No Removal Of Personal Representative Without Notice Or Evidentiary Hearing

Let’s start this week with a brief reminder of Florida probate law, courtesy of Florida’s Third District Court of Appeal in Zulon v. Peckins:
A court cannot summarily remove the personal representative of an estate. Notice and an evidentiary hearing is required under law. Removal of a personal representative without notice or an evidentiary hearing violates due process.
That is all.
