Am I an Heir
Junior Member
What is the name of your state? Florida
I was adopted when I was a child. My bio mother died when I was an infant. I was adopted by grandparents.
My bio father recently(within the last year) died. Members of his family(step-children) are involved in an estate battle with an outsider who was given everything evidently in a will. They think I have a legal standing in this case. I have only learned of this in the last 24 hours. Anyone have any opinion in this matter? Part of FL statutes I have found online seem to say I might have a right. (section 63.172(2) )
How long after death does one have to file a will in FL?
How easy to contest a will on mental or duress issues? (alzheimers was involved as I understand the situation)
How long after publication do I have to file a claim or start a contest?
Thanks!
