How do I get half of whatever money my family member left?

Answered by attorney John M Abramson (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Abramson & Magidson, P.A.
You would have to check court records showing title to the home likely passed to the mortgage company or the bank at time of death pursuant to the reverse mortgage; then contact the mortgage company to determine if there was any 'equity' after paying off the mortgage debt. You would have to seek help from a court clerk initially. Good luck.

When should someone file a Will after they have it changed?

Wills are not filed in Florida until after they have passed away. Also, when your mother made a new Will it should have revoked her old Will so it will never be filed.

What are the legal rights of a spouse who just discovered his/her recently deceased mate never divorced the first spouse?

Answered by attorney Richard J Kaplan (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Richard J. Kaplan, P.A.
I can't answer all aspects of the problem, but the main point I can. Since the decedent was married when they married Spouse B, the marriage to Spouse B was not legal (void ab initio) and Florida does not have common law marriage. I had this happen once with a client of mine years ago in that the client got remarried before the final judgment of divorce. So they had to get married again to Spouse B after the divorce was final to make it legal. If Spouse B is a Florida resident, they can qualify to be the personal representative, but the parents would have better standing to serve and could request it. What will happen will depend upon the Judge, and any other opinions would require in depth research.
