Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Florida
quit claim
My Aunt's inheritance was divided equally among her surviving neice and nephews. To close the estate in a timely manner, my cousin (personal representative of the estate)signed a quit claim deed against the estate for a lot she inherited in Florida. Upon my cousin's death his wife claims ownership of the lot and wants to sell it. She has asked me to sign a 'Complaint to Quiet Title' relinquishing my interest in the lot. This form was accompanied by a Court-issued Summons and 'Acceptance of Service of Process and Consent to Relief Requested'. Do I have any claim to the procedes from the sale?

Re: quit claim
It is difficult to tell from your question exactly what happened here. If the lot did belong to your Aunt at her death and you were an heir of your Aunt, then you should have received a portion of the proceeds from the sale of that lot. Without reviewing probate documents from your Aunt's estate I do not know if your cousin, as PR of the estate, complied with Florida law. I would not think you should sign anything until you have had a chance to discuss this matter with a Florida attorney.
