Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Florida

Probate of Wills

My wife's birth mother became very ill recently and passed away. We just received a letter from my deceased mother-in-laws estate attorney who advised that the possible executor (we have not been notified who the executor is) is not required to make any payments due to the will not being probated. The attorney went on to say that a payment is being offered anyway due to a specific will provision. Myself and my wife think there are other will provisions that will not be carried out. Is the estate attorney required to provide a copy of the will? Does a will have to be probated to legally require the executor to carry out its provisions?

Re: Probate of Wills

You need to read the will before you agree to anything.
