Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Florida
What are the steps after a death
Please explain all the steps that are to take place after a death. The person is married and the spouse is still living. There is an old Will from Ohio, but the couple lives in Florida. The Will stipulates the spouse is to receive the property, but the property was sold long ago and new real estate was purchased in Florida (and not mentioned in the Will). What is probate? What fees will be involved? What do we need to do or what are we suppose to do now? Will the spouse be able to keep the home and the items in the home in Florida? Can a grown child take the home and assets away from the spouse, because of no Florida Will? There are no other assets, just the house and what is in it. Is it a quarantee that the spouse will get everything, even when there is no Will?
I know I may not be asking all the right questions, but if you could think of something else that I haven't ask I would appreciate it if you would include it into my answer too.

Re: What are the steps after a death
Assessing and distributing property can be very complex. The questions you answer have many variables (i.e. some property requires probate other doesn't, there are different types of probate administration thus fees vary). I strongly recommend you consult an attorney in person to answer your questions.

Wow! Explain the meaning of life in 25 words or less. Seriously, it would take quite a while to answer all your questions, and it would require more information. I will be happy to try to answer your questions if you call me at my office, or preferably if you call and set a free consultation in my office. Either way there is no obligation.
