Legal Question in Family Law in Florida
Proof of executor of estate
My wife and I separated but did not
file for divorce. She passed away
easter 09. We bought our houses
and each of had to go on the
mortgage (not the loan)of each
others house. The mortgage
company will not give me any info on
options that I have, or even if she
has insurance that pays the house
off. How can I prove executor of
estate as her husband?

Re: Proof of executor of estate
Florida does not use the term Executor but rather Personal Representative of the Estate. The first question is whether your wife left a will or not. If she left a Will, did the will suggest anyone to be the Personal Representative of the Estate.
To be a Personal Representative, a person must bring a Court proceeding to administer the estate of the decedent. The Court will appoint the Personal Representative who would be granted Letters of Administration from the Court. This should be sufficient proof for a Bank or Mortgagor to respond to the questions of the person appointed.
If you wish to e-mail me more facts and a telephone number, I could answer the question with more specificity.
