Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Florida
Trying to take what's mine.
I have signed an agreement with my father biologial child and have been appointed excutor of our father's estate. I qualified under the virtual adoption law as his daughter and beneficary. My mother's cousin who is not related in any way to my father is trying to file a determation of beneficaries to get her hands on his real property. She has already stolen $15,000 in money and personal property. I want to know how does this effect me being over my dad's estate and in agreement with my dad's biological child. The judge has signed off on the agreement and given me the letters of administration. What else can I do. The real property is about to be placed in my name and I am in the process of paying my dad's biological child off. How can I stop my mother's relative???

You stop her with court proceedings. Contact your attorney.
Re: Trying to take what's mine.
If your mother's cousin is not an "interested person" in your father's estate (an heir, a beneficiary, a creditor, the PR), she should have nothing to do with the probate administration. I don't know how she managed to steal anything from your father's estate or how she might do more of that, but I can't see any court granting any petition to a non-interested party. She will, of course, be an interested party when it comes to your estate if she survives you, but not here.
