Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Florida
deadbeat dad is dead
my father recently passed away. in 1993 he inherited
his mothers house in florida where he resides. in 1993
he advised me that he was leaving me as representative of his estate. He would leave the property in a life estate to his companion and upon her death it would be returned to his natural heirs.
later in 1996 he showed me the will that stated all of this. i recently found out he made a few other wills. his companion claims to have the latest will
which names her and only her at the sole person
to inherit his home. since my father never paid child support for five children can his estate be sued
for back payments, abandonment and/or mental abuse.

Your father's estate is liable for the payment of all debts he was liable for at the time of his death
