Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Florida
A will was not filed because the lawyer forgot. Parts of this will raise questions as to a "cut and paste" action of the widow in certain sections while leaving our granddaughter with nothing. While sitting before the judge, at his request, this was brought to his attention...nothing happened. What would happen if the will was changed after the session with the judge and then filed?
1 Answer from Attorneys
No reason is offered to explain why a judge examined the will. Was it in probate court? Was the will accepted into evidence? Regardless, an attorney cannot advise you to alter a will after the testator has passed. Also, even if a will is delayed in filing for a substantial period, a probate court can and usually does accept the will. Advice: talk to another lawyer regarding your legal options.
