Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Florida
Will
My will designated my husband as sole heir. In the event of his death, my daughter is sole heir. They have both passed away and the will designates her issue to be the heirs.However, one paragraph states in the event of their deaths my son-in-law becomes co-trustee with remaining heirs. Does that mean he shares in the estate?
