Fla. Stat. § 733.601 : Estates And Trusts — Probate Code: Administration Of Estates — Time of accrual of duties and powers

Current through Chapter 269 of the 2016 Legislative Session

The duties and powers of a personal representative commence upon appointment. The powers of a personal representative relate back in time to give acts by the person appointed, occurring before appointment and beneficial to the estate, the same effect as those occurring after appointment. A personal representative may ratify and accept acts on behalf of the estate done by others when the acts would have been proper for a personal representative.
