Bill Summary · HB 1337

Legislative bill overview

HB 1337 is a Florida bill addressing estates law that has been processed through the Judiciary Committee with a committee substitute (CS). The bill received a favorable recommendation and was reported out of committee on February 3, 2026, but was subsequently laid on the table, meaning it has been temporarily set aside from active consideration.

Why is this important

Changes to estates law directly affect how Floridians can plan their inheritances, distribute assets after death, and establish trusts or other estate planning mechanisms. These modifications can impact thousands of residents' financial security and family wealth transfer planning.
