In response to recent legislation, The Florida Bar's Probate Rules Committee (Committee) has filed an out-of-cycle, fast-track report1 proposing amendments to Florida Probate Rule 5.025 (Adversary Proceedings). We have jurisdiction2 and adopt the amendments as proposed.
The proposed amendments address the enactment of section 825.1035, Florida Statutes (2018), in chapter 2018-100, section 2, Laws of Florida, which became effective July 1, 2018.3 The Executive Committee of the Board of Governors of The Florida Bar unanimously approved the Committee's proposals. The Committee did not publish the proposals before filing them with the Court. After considering the Committee's proposals and the relevant legislation, we amend the Florida Probate Rules as proposed.
We amend subdivision (a) of rule 5.025 to add proceedings for an injunction under section 825.1035 to the list of adversary proceedings. Specifically, we include "obtain an injunction or temporary injunction pursuant to section 825.1035, Florida Statutes" to the first sentence of rule 5.025(a).
Next, we amend rule 5.025(d)(1) to exclude proceedings under section 825.1035, Florida Statutes, from the formal notice requirements of rule 5.025 because section 825.1035(7) contains its own notice and service requirements. Additionally, section 825.1035(5) authorizes the issuance of temporary injunctions ex parte in certain circumstances.
Finally, we add a new revision note to rule 5.025 to detail the aforementioned amendments as well as a new statutory reference to section 825.1035, Florida Statutes.
Accordingly, the Florida Probate Rules are amended as reflected in the appendix to this opinion. New language is indicated by underscoring; deletions are indicated by struck-through type. The amendments shall take effect immediately upon the release of this opinion. Because the amendments were not published for comment prior to their adoption, interested persons shall have sixty days from the date of this opinion in which to file comments with the Court.4

CANADY, C.J., and PARIENTE, LEWIS, QUINCE, POLSTON, LABARGA, and LAWSON, JJ., concur.

Committee Notes
The court on its initiative or on motion of any party may order any proceeding to be adversary or nonadversary or enter any order that will avoid undue delay. The personal representative would be an interested person in all adversary proceedings. A prescribed form for the caption is provided that will facilitate the clerk's and the court's ability to segregate such adversary proceeding from other adversary proceedings and from the main probate file:
