Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Florida

deceased did not get will changed

I was a care taker by my choice as a friend. The deceased passed and did not have there will changed, as there benaficary had passed the year before. The deceased talked to me as to what they wanted as to there estate. and what they did not want to happen. Now estate is going to probate. Do I have a say as to letting the probate lawyer know what I was told they wanted and did not want to happen to there estate?? They were a close and good friend, and I would like to see the things I was told they wanted to happen, to happen. Nothing more, nothing less.

Re: deceased did not get will changed

Sorry, no. The property passes according to the Will if there was one, and by the Statute of Intestacy, if there was not. Generally, in an intestate estate (no will), the beneficiaries and person selected as Personal Representative must make any decisions concerning the deceased, within the statutes applicable to the particular issue.
