Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Florida

waiver of service of notice of administration

The PR of an estate asks me to sign a waiver of service of notice of administration. Besides the obvious, meaning that I waive the right to challenge the validity of the will, the qualifications of the PR, venue, or jurisdiction, can I have any disadvantage by signing the waiver? Do I forfeit any rights I have? Does the waiver mean that I will not be informed on all further actions the PR takes?

Thanks for help!

Re: waiver of service of notice of administration

You give up no rights if you are entitled to participate in the estate under the terms of the Will. All you are doing is indicating you are not contesting the Will and allowing the probate process to begin. As one entitled to the estate, you have the right to an accounting and to be advised what is going on.
