Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Florida
My mother was in a will where she received property and money. We know of the property but have been unable to trace the location of the money. How can we find out what she was awarded in the will?

You can check the probate court to read the will.

If the will has not been probated, then I suggest you ask who has it to tell you or file for probate intestate and receive your share per the statutes.

If the Will is filed, you can obtain a copy from the court as an interested party. If the Will hasn't been filed, you can get a court order to require the person who holds it to file it, or be held in contempt.
