Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Florida
My brother and I inherited a condo 50/50. The will appoints my brother as trustee and it goes on to say "........I give my said Personal Representative and Trustee the fullest power in all matters, under Florida law, including the power to sell or convey real or personal property or any interest therein without court order."
What rights do I have as half owner of the property. Is the trustee, or executor able to make any and all decisions pertaining to the repair, lease or sale of the property without my legal input?
Do I understand that by 'having the power to sell or convey,' he can give away property that should belong to me and even leave me out of the proceeds of such?

No he does not. That provision applies, if their are insufficient assets to pay off creditors.
