Persons dealing with the personal representative; protection.
733.611 Persons dealing with the personal representative; protection.--Except as provided in s. 733.613(1), a person who in good faith either assists a personal representative or deals with him or her for value is protected as if the personal representative properly exercised his or her power. The fact that a person knowingly deals with the personal representative does not alone require the person to inquire into the existence of his or her power, the limits on the power, or the propriety of its exercise. A person is not bound to see to the proper application of estate assets paid or delivered to the personal representative. The protection here expressed extends to instances in which a procedural irregularity or jurisdictional defect occurred in proceedings leading to the issuance of letters, including a case in which the alleged decedent is alive. The protection here expressed is not by substitution for that provided in comparable provisions of the laws relating to commercial transactions and laws simplifying transfers of securities by fiduciaries.
