RECENT RELEASES - FLORIDA SUPREME COURT
CRIMINAL LAW--SENTENCING--DOWNWARD DEPARTURE--APPEALS. In resolving a conflict between the districts, the Court held that a district court has jurisdiction to review a trial court's decision not to grant a downward departure sentence.
PROBATE RULES--AMENDMENT. The Court adopted proposed amendments to Florida Probate Rules 5.025 (Adversary Proceedings), 5.122 (Curators), 5.200 (Petition for Administration), 5.320 (Oath of Personal Representative), and 5.470 (Ancillary Administration). In addition to grammatical changes, the Court amended rules 5.200 and 5.320 "to provide additional statutory references for definitions of key terms" and rule 5.122 to "clarify that letters of curatorship must specify the powers being granted to the curator, and that a court may grant a curator authority to possess or control either all or part of the decedent's property."
