Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Florida
can a will be changed after death if the only name sole inheritor is his spouse
may father died in 1991 in Fl. I assume my mother was the sole inheritor, even though there are 3 living adult children. Can she change the will since it didn't have to probated since she was the sole inheritor? 17 Years later--she uses 'her' will as a threat to me (her daughter) and my brother (she doesn't like his wife). I read the will he wrote before he died. He showed it to me. Is there any copies of the will written before his death, and what the will will be be when she dies? Does she have the legal rights to change his 'will'? I know he showed me he had set up a trust for all his grandchildren after they reached 25 yrs. old. None ever received it (3 are over 25 now) and when I mentioned this to her, she acted like I was crazy and made the whole thing up

A Will can not be changed after death. If you have a copy of the original Will that addresses the Trusts you should look into the existence of those trusts.
It is possible that the Will you saw had been revoked.
