Does moving out negate a life estate?

David Goldman
Answered by attorney David Goldman
Estate Planning lawyer at Law Office of David M. Goldman PLLC
Generally, unless the life estate prohibits it, a person can move out and even rent the property or sell their life estate so someone else.

What's the cost to have a estate document done?

Terry Lynn Garrett
Answered by attorney Terry Lynn Garrett
Estate Planning lawyer at The Garrett Law Firm, PLLC
Whether you can open an estate using a small estate affidavit or must file an application with the local probate court turns on state law and the size and nature of your father's estate.  Either is likely to cost more than $600.  If that is all he left (besides some old clothes and shoes), you may prefer to let the check go to unclaimed property with the state comptroller's office and, years from now, try to prove to that office who your father's heirs are.

Estate Planning lawyer at The Law Office of Stephen A. Black
Any interested party—including a family member or a boyfriend—may serve as the personal representative of a decedent’s estate. If appointed, he may recover reasonable compensation for his time and duties performed in that role. This includes administrative tasks and expenses directly tied to managing the estate.However, unless the boyfriend qualifies as a statutory survivor under Florida’s Wrongful Death Act, he is not entitled to a share of the wrongful death recovery itself. His compensation is limited to administrative fees and personal representative expenses—unless he also has a valid contractual claim against the estate.To find out what’s happening with the case, look up the case number in the county where it was filed. Identify the attorney of record and speak with them directly.If you’re not represented, consult a qualified attorney for specific legal advice.
