Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Florida
update: we have sent the letter required to demand repayment of the NSF check on the Fidelity Trust account that the half sister cleaned out before the aunt death, the aunt had 650k in this trust in May 2011 wrote us a check for 60K to pay off our home she wrote this in the memo on the check as well, she wrote the check to us 7-16 she passed away 8-2 but we did not get notification it was NSF until 7-21 by then the aunt was in the hospital and on morphine so we are trying to make the heir make good on this check, we will file a report with police after the 15 days so they can send to State attorneys office but I really feel like we will end up in court with her and the paperwork we filled out stated if we go to court & win the case will be for 3 times the check amount so that is 180K ( we are not trying to get that we really just wanted what aunt Martha wanted us to have) we live in Lakeland Florida any lawyers close to me interested in this case, we have the NSF signed by aunt, we have another family member as a witness she wanted us to have a check for this .

unless your aunt (the half sister) has any assets to get, I doubt that anyone will take your case.
