Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Florida
Valid Assignment??
If there is no provision in a person�s will for an assignment of any interest in possible estate inheritance as heir, can a personal representative named in the will for the estate claim, or make, such an assignment of interest?
My aunt�s will has four beneficiaries who will share percentages of her estate. She had not made any assignment of the future interest in her parent�s estates as an heir in her will.
Can the personal representative alter the provisions of her will after she has died by making such a assignment during the probate of her estate?

Re: Valid Assignment??
The assignment is governed by provisions in her will AND by provisions in the will or trust from which she inherited. An attorney would need to review all relavant documents to render an opinion.
