Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Florida
estate sale
If an item is sold at an estate sale, and later the person in charge of the estate wants that item back, what rights does the estate have to get it back? e.g., a wooden box with a hidden lever with an expensive item hidden in it?

Once the item is sold, the sale is final unless you can prove fraud or some other illegal action. If the Buyer was an innocent purchase, then you probably have no options.
