Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Florida
property, financial accounts
My grandfather recently passed away. My mother was named the gaurdian on the will. My grandmother is still alive, recently though she has become more forgetful. My mother says she has the information to the checking accounts my grandparents have, and she wants the accounts changed to her name. I think she is going to take all their money and their house. How do I become gaurdian and/or how do I make sure that my grandparents investments don't become absorbed by my mother? Also, I want my name on the accounts, because something were to happen to my mother, then all would be lost. Please help???

Re: property, financial accounts
A guardian cannot be appointed in a will. A will takes effect on death. The court can appoint a guardian on written application. Retain counsel. Good luck.
Re: property, financial accounts
If the accounts and the house was in both names (as is probably the case), then they are already hers.

You need to find out if your mother was appointed personal R. of your grandfathers estate-many of the assets are in his estate.If you want to persue this further e-mail me me your phone #.
