Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Florida
My dad passed away a year ago. I'm 17 recieving Social Security for being a survivor. My dads mom(my grandma) was the only beneficiary on his will. His wife won't let me have any of his things,because she wants nothing to do with his family. What can i do to get his things that are in her posession? He had brain cancer so,he kinda started going after a certain time. She says my grandma stole her money,because it belonged to her. It never did because she wasn't a benificiary. In conclusion,i just want a piece of my dad to hold on to,he had my baby videos. I want that back...

The Personal Representative of a probate estate can marshal the assets and collect them. You would need to file a probate and get someone of legal age appointed he can deal with the wife about collecting his assets. that said, a surviving spouse would be entitled to an elective share under the Estate even if the will tried to eliminate her. You need to seek legal advice.
