What is the name of your state? Florida

My husband and I had a common law marriage in Georgia before moving to Florida in 1999. My husband was recently killed in a hit and run accident. Do I have any rights in probate court?

Presumably, if there are no valid challenges to the marriage (and no divorce), then you would have the same rights as any other wife.
Oh, and to be a valid common law marriage in Georgia, it had to be 'performed' (entered) PRIOR to January 1, 1997.
