Petition for Extension of Time to Prepare and File Verified Inventory
(FL)

Summary

This template asks the probate court to extend the time for the personal representative to file the inventory of the estate in Florida. This template includes practical guidance and drafting notes. This template incorporates Florida law and may be easily adapted to other matters such as requesting to extend the time for the filing the final accounting of the personal representative or requesting to extend the time for filing the statement regarding creditors. Although each circuit in Florida has different rules, common practice is to submit an order granting the petition simultaneously with the petition. The filing of this petition may prevent the probate court from entering an order to show cause as to why the filing of the inventory is late. For additional information, see Governing Law of Probate, Jurisdiction and Proceedings (FL).
