Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Florida

Re: Trust documents

Without seeing the actual instrument, it usually means that you would be entitled to what is left after paying costs and expenses and deduction of specific gifts.

Re: Trust documents

The type of testamentary instrument is important to your inquiry. Without seeing the document and its language it is difficult to say what your interest is.

Generally a remainder is paid after specific bequests or gifts are paid. A trust may involve a life estate and this may terminate upon the death of the person being supported by the estate or a specific interest given in real property or other asset.
