Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Florida

When four relatives have passed, with the youngest passing last(only one with a will),and there are in-laws involved with estate. The in-laws live in the family home to do with as they please. I feel that they may be doing thing with items left that may belong to the deceased relatives as they see that they are the only heirs. I as well as one in-law are not related to those deceased. The youngset that passed is my husband and I have his will. My husbands Grandmother, Mother and Aunt have passed befor him(and in that order).... What can and should I do? I would like to know how to protect what my belong to my husbands estate. I am willing to work with my brother in-law, yet I think he may try to find a way to screw with things that were ment to be split with his brother..the aunt left a will, that to my understanding, can't and won't stand up in a court of law( due to the fact on note paper, one witness and noterized)... What are any suggestions?

I am sorry to hear about the loss of your husband. You should file the will for probate. I recommend you have a local attorney assist you with the estate administration process.

You need to probate your husband's estate and take possession of his assets. If no other wills or probate were done, then the law is by intestatcy (no will). These people may have right to inherit.
