If your husband lived in Florida - then the county in which he resided would have a copy of his will on file for the probating of his estate. If you contact the clerk's office there, they can tell you if a will or an estate has been opened. If she did not open an estate, there is little more that you can do. As a divorced spouse you are not entitled to anything he owned after the divorce. IF there was an insurance policy and it was changed, you would have to contact the insurance office and put a cliam on the policy. The company would then hold the policy until a court decides who the recipient of the policy is. I suggest you move quickly because one it is gone, it is gone.
