Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Florida
inheritance statute of limitations
Is there a statute of limitations on when a person can claim an inheritance against an estate?
We live in Florida but the individual died in Puerto Rico. Any assets to be claimed were also in Puerto Rico.

Re: inheritance statute of limitations
As part of the estate settlement process all assets should be distributed and any debts are suppose to be paid.Therefore, if you have a claim as a beneficiary you should get your share as well as a breakdown of the estate distribution.However,if you are owed money by the decedent you need to file a claim against the estate there are time limits.If you need help e-mail me your phone # and a good time to call you. " good luck".

There is no limit on when the probate can be initiated. But once probate is started, the limitations do apply.
