Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Florida
Intestate in Florida
My father passed recently and had a will and a revocable trust but in the trust he has a paragraph which states (the short version): If his wife survives him (she did and is 93) The trustees shall hold in trust foir her benefit such part of the grantor's gross estate as she would have received had the grantor died intestate domiciled in Florida.
I am the only surviving child on my fathers side does that mean I get half, is my daughter a lineal decendent or does it stop with me and my stepmother.

She gets the first $60,000 plus one half of the rest. The other half goes to the children. A Grandchild gets nothing unless there are no children alive.

Spouse is entitled to $60,000 plus 1/2 of rest. GD nothing.
