What are my duties and rights as an executor of fathers will?

Answered by attorney Mark T. Peters (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Peters Law, PLLC
It sounds like she was not on the account. If not, it is technically theft. As the executor, you can move the court to force her to turn over all of the funds she received. However, is she entitled to anything under the will? If so, maybe you can just offset what she got against what she is supposed to get. You should contact a local probate attorney and go through the details of the situation with him or her.

What are our options if there is a dispute over a will?

Answered by attorney David Goldman
Estate Planning lawyer at Law Office of David M. Goldman PLLC
Probably not, but she can leave her 1/2 interest to the other 3 children. This should be done before her death to avoid the ownership to pass to the other child. If she has other assets, she can also make up the difference using a will or trust to account for the difference in asset value. You might consider looking at an enhanced life estate deed.

What percentage is paid to an executor?

Answered by attorney Sabina Tomshinsky
Estate Planning lawyer at Home Town Law, P.A.
Pursuant to the Florida Probate Code, personal representatives are entitled to compensation at the rate of 3% for the first $1 million. See Section 733.617 of the Florida Statutes. Florida Probate Code also contains an order of priority for paying Estate debts and specifically Section 733.707 of the Florida Statutes lists an order in which estate creditors get paid. You should really consult with a probate attorney on the specifics of your case. Good luck!
