Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Florida
my father died in june of 08 . left a will supposedly leaving everything to our stepmother. my father signed this will 2 months before he passed, was on medication could not drive himself anywhere. she has not probated anything. says she does not have to , says my father owed no one. my father owned a business in his name solely worth approximately 2 million.... she took the will to tax office to have business put into her name... they said as long as it was signed and notorized thats all they needed... seems to me probate was necessary if this was in his name solely....... shes not above doing things illegal to get what she wants..... very concerned daughter......we are considering contesting this phantom will. any advice would be helpful

It appears you are right that the will needs to be probated because otherwise all the assets would have to be in joint tenancy with you father.The bad news is you should push contesting the will,etc. now. Talk to a attorney or e-mail me to set up a attorney referral to get a good attorney you will need it here.
