Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Florida

Your 'rights' will be dependent on whether your father left a Last Will & Testament. If so, that document should state your entitlement. If no Last Testament is in existence, his estate will be distributed per Florida Statute; expenses get paid and remaining goes to surviving heirs. There is a lot more to the matter, so feel free to give us a call, (813) 868-1989.

If your father left a will, then the will states who will receive what. So if you were not left anything under his will and the will is valid, you have no right to a share of his estate. If your father died without a will (intestate), then his estate will be divided among his heirs according to state law. The estate will need to be administered in the county where he resided.
