Does a seperated spouse have a right to a family inheritance?

Answered by attorney Robert James Slotkin (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Robert J. Slotkin
Yes, Florida does not recognize legal separation. You have the same rights as a spouse who cohabits with the other spouse

How long does it take for someone's estate to be settled?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Brian Haggerty (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Minor, Bandonis & Haggerty P.C.
In practical terms, it can't be done in less than six months (from the date of the petition for probate). My record longest is five years. It just depends on the facts and circumstances.

Living in Texas, inheriting property in FL, where do I begin?

Terry Lynn Garrett
Answered by attorney Terry Lynn Garrett
Estate Planning lawyer at The Garrett Law Firm, PLLC
Please contact a Florida probate attorney in the county in which your aunt held property and died.  It does not appear that you have any right to the property.  Do not spend money on the mortgage:  even if her son disclaims his inheritance, it will pass to his children, not to you.  You will have to file a claim against the estate and prove that this was a loan to the estate, not a gift.  Under most states' inheritance laws, nieces and nephews can only inherit if there are no children (or children of children who disclaim), parents, aunts or uncles.
