Florida Probate Court

What is the name of your state? Florida.

Last year a man died. He has several siblings and several heirs. He left property and money exceeding 1 MIL! Anyway, my question is: Apparently his sister got a hold of one bank account with a substancial amount of money. I presume that maybe he left her as benefficiary because she is spending the money like is Christmas. I wonder if that can be included in the probate? She just bought a 2000+ sq feet home in a nice suburb. This person does not work! Any anwers will be apreciated.

If she was the sole beneficiary of the account, there's nothing anyone can do, as it would not go through probate.

Thanks

Thanks Veronica.

The question should be WHEN did she get ahold of the money--before or after he died? Is she official executor of the estate? Is a will being probated? Is it possible she could have gotten power of attorney before he died?

Have you checked at the county courthouse probate court to see if a will has been filed or not--normally that is done within 30 days after the death?

Don't just automatically give up until you find out more information!
