Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Florida

Issues with Will's after a family member has passed... To include a revised bill that was done in February of last year. And she passed away just before Christmas. The attorney is saying the new rule is no invoice as it was never taken to court and finalized? Making the last will done several years ago in effect? What do we do to go from here to figure out exactly what is going on? We live in Florida. She lived in Upstate New York. At this point in time we cannot go to New York due to medical issues.

Not sure what you are asking. The last properly executed will should be the one going to probate.

Your question is very unclear. You really need an attorney in NY not one in Florida. NY will apply to the probate handled up there.

I too have no idea what you are asking. So.... if there was a new will prepared and executed, IT DOES NOT have to be recorded. You just need to have the attorney who prepared it to present it to you so that you can probate the estate, if necessary. If you do not have an executed revised will , then the will that was done previously will be the will to use to probate the estate, again if necessary. Not knowing the assets and not knowing what state leaves to many questions unanswered in order to provide you an answer.
