Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Florida
probate,trusts,wills&estates
mom passed on 9/15/07.I am her
only child,dad passed years ago. She
was well off,& left me a 50,000 dollar
annunity. Her 1/2 sister gets
everything else. There's more to the
story but for now I have afew basic
questions. 1 am I entitled to know
the full value,worth of her estate?
2.Do I have a right to see original
copies of wills &Revocable Trust, all I
have seen are Restatements, &
Amendments. My mom lived in
clearwater fla. My aunt lives in N.Y.,
where she is a paralegal for Wills,
trusts,etc. 3. If there was no probate
can I still challenge, or contest it?

Re: probate,trusts,wills&estates
You can contest anything but will have to prove either that (10 your Mom was incompetent or (2) her 1/2 sister unduly influenced your Mom into whatever was done.
If there is no probate, you will have to file a lawsuit.
