Re: how much time
The normal procedure in Florida is that someone files the will with the Court and then serves copies of the will upon all interested parties. Newly found wills are at times filed with the court during the probate process but cannot be filed after an estate is closed. From the facts given, it does appear that you should take action as fast as possible to discover what, if anything, is going on. good luck and send me an e-mail ([email protected]) if you have any additional questions.

You should immediately consult with a trust and estate lawyer in your area. Do not attempt to proceed without such expert advice.
