Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Florida

In probate how long does an attorney have to tell the court he's handling one person's interest? If its been 2 n 3/4's year into probate, and the attorney handling one person just filed with the court, does that take away anyone's statue of limitations, that would hurt that person? Thanks A Million. CC

When an attorney files a pleading in probate court, the pleading indicates which

party is represented by the attorney. Whether such filing violates any time period

(statute of limitations does not apply to probate filings but there are limits imposed

by the Code and by the Court) depends on the facts of the case.

This question makes no legal sense. An attorney has to advise everyone involved who he represents from the initial time he enters a case. Mr. Martin is correct about the rest. You really need to hire an attorney to get a global understanding of what is going on in the probate.

I agree with my colleagues. The question is not factually understandable. I suggest you speak with a probate attorney. If I can be of assistance, contact my office for an appointment. 904-997-1031
