Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in New Jersey

I am trying to find out exactly which state or state county will jurisdiction over my father's probate, in case

I want to contest the will after his death, and compel an accounting of the the POA.

Though he currently has been in a nursing home in NJ the last 5 years, before that his permanent residence had been in Florida and I assume it still is, though it was put into a revocable trust in 2003.

His Estate lawyer is in NJ, where the will was made before, where he also previously worked and lived before he retired to Florida.

Whoa, Nelly! As long as he's alive, there's no telling. Come back to ask again after he's died.

THIS RESPONSE IS NOT LEGAL ADVICE, SINCE I DO NOT HAVE ALL OF THE INFORMATION THAT WOULD BE REQUIRED, AND I DO NOT HAVE A REPRESENTATION AGREEMENT WITH YOU.

* If the answers to your question confirm that you have a valid issue or worthwhile claim, your next step should almost always be to establish a dialog with a lawyer who can provide specific advice to you. Contact a lawyer in your county or township.

* Another reason for contacting a lawyer is that it is often impossible to give a good answer in the Internet Q&A format without having more information. The unique circumstances of your situation and things that you may not have thought to mention in your question may completely change the answer. If you want to be sure that you have a complete answer to your question and an understanding of what that answer means, establish a connection with a lawyer who practices in the area of your concern.
