Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Florida
My husband passed away and left mobile home to a friend. he had no will, just a notorized piece of paper saying he gets mobile home. does he automatically own all the belongings? i have personal and sentimental items in the house that i want. we were still married at the time he passed. his friend says he gets everything in the house.

Does not appear to be a valid will-so the friend will get nothing.
The complete answer depends on other assets and if he had children.
The document needs to be reviewed by an attorney. It does not sound like it is a validly executed will but would need to be examined. If it is not a valid will, the friend would not get anything assuming there is not other valid contract. To preserve your rights, you should consult with an attorney immediately.
Seek some actual legal advice. You have valid claims and should pursue those AND you should not automatically allow the other person into possession of the mobile home.
