Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Florida

administration of fathers estate

My husband, son, daughter and I had a loving relationship with my father until a woman alienated

him from us. She finally got him to marry her 7/21/98 six months after cutting me out of his life.

My father passed away 4/11/2001 at which time she had him cremated, no memorial, she says he

left no will, there will be no administration of his estate, and will not show any proof that I am

not intituled to anything. I have papers, friends, relatives, bank personel that can testify what my fathers wishes were. How can I file an administration myself in Florida without an attorney?

I cannot afford $4000 and $200 an hour to find out she still gets everything. I am his only lineal

descendant.

You will need to have an attorney represent you in a formal probate with no will. It should not be that expensive. Also, Florida law provides for children to recieve a portin of the estate absent a will
