Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Florida

Re: Will question

You will be required to go through the probate process for the house. If all she had was her vehicle, there is a statutory exception to that, and by a showing of a certified copy of her will the beneficiary as listed in that will could have the vehicle retitled in their name.

If I can be of assistance to you in handling the probate matter, please let me know.

Re: Will question

You will have to arrange to probate the Will to change the deed for the house.

Re: Will question

First, my sincere condolences on your loss. Your daughter's estate will most likely need to be probated, unless you were already listed in some form on the Deed. The value of your daughter's estate will determine the type of probate which will be needed.

Once the probate is filed someone will be appointed as personal representative and will be charged with carrying out the tasks of transferring the assets. You can petition the court to be appointed if you want to.

You will need to hire an attorney for this process, so I recommend that you choose one with probate experience and whom you feel comfortable with.
