Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Florida

Re: how to find a will in Florida

You need to check with the Clerk of the Circuit Court for the county where he/she resided at time of death.

Re: how to find a will in Florida

I agree with Frank. However, you have a problem if there was no Will, as who becomes entitled to share in the estate, depends upon who survived and died later. If it was your father, intestacy laws protect you as a child and entitle you both administer the estate and share in its proceeds. However, if your step-mother died later, you may get nothing without a Will, as you are not her natural heir. Last point, even if there was a Will and she died later, you may have rights if you were not mentioned in her Will, especially if her Will was made after your father died. I suggest you check out what happened and possibly contact a Florida attorney whose expertise is Wills and Estates to assist you. Contact me directly if you have any additional questions.
