Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Florida

Family allowance

I lost a family member who named me as the executor, successor trustee and beneficiary. He recently married a woman and passed away 4 months later, leaving the will intact. I signed off as executor, being out of state, and Per Fla homestead law I lost pretty much everything. I have objected to a family allowance, which will eliminate anything left in the estate. If a hearing is scheduled to address an Objection, am I to appear or is it a closed process. I also would like to know as the beneficiary of a will the implications of receiving the Petition mail addressed ''individually and as successor trustee''. Thank you for your help.
