Fla. Prob. R. 5.100 · Part I. — GENERAL
RIGHT OF APPEAL
Text — October 1, 2026 edition
Appeal of final orders and discretionary appellate review of non-final orders are governed by the Florida Rules of Appellate Procedure.
Notes and commentary — not rule text
Committee Notes
For purposes of appellate review, the service of a motion for rehearing postpones rendition of final orders only. A motion for rehearing of a non-final order does not toll the running of the time to seek review of that order.
