Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Florida
Ill beneficiary to florida trust
My mother died last year. My father
just died. I am now a beneficiary to
their Trust. I am medically ill. How long
do I need to remain alive following my
father's death for my own estate to
receive my ''portion?'' There may be
probate so it could take awhile to settle.

I would need to look at the trust document to see when your interest is vested so if you died it would pass through your estate.If you would like me to review the trust send me an e-mail with your phone number so I can call you.

You should not rely on or take action based on this communication without first presenting ALL relevant details to a competent attorney in your jurisdiction and then receiving the attorney's individualized advice for you. By reading the "Response" to your question or comment, you agree that the opinion expressed is not intended to, nor does it, create any attorney-client relationship, nor does it constitute legal advice to any person reviewing such information, nor will it be considered an attorney-client privileged communication. If you do not agree, then stop right here, and do not read any further.
The length of time for a trust to vest is dependent upon the terms of the trust itself. An attorney would have to review the instrument to let you know. Many trusts vest immediately. If you are seriously ill, you should make sure that you have your estate planning in order to avoid a problem if anything happened to you.
