Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Florida

Brother starting trouble

If the probate is over and, in one part of the probate paperwork it states that any and all interested persons/entities with an interest in said property shall have 90 days to contest or forever be barred does that mean that not even a residual beneficiary can start any legal proceedings after the 90 days? Especially since the probate has closed over a year ago? Please help, as I need an answer real quick. Thank You.

If you were a beneficiary of the estate, then you should have been covered. It would not be necessary for you to file a claim. If, though, you had a claim -- say you paid for the funeral bills -- then you would need to have filed a claim as required under the statute.
