What is the name of your state? Florida
my question is when my father passed away he had not included me in his will because we just found each other almost 2 years ago. my stepmother who is the personal representitive wants to include me as equal share with my half siblings. she has agreed to make me equal beneficiary to my half siblings and the attorney mailed me all these documents which included me as a co-equal beneficiary as them. the lawyer drew up all the neccessary petitions for court approval on that. then i recieved all law documents saying that my siblings and i needed to sign which included a determination of beneficiaries and beneficiares shares, notice of hearing to present to court,a declaration that proceeding is adversary, and waivor of attendance at scheduled hearing. ok, so i mailed all these documents back signed and notorized. then i recieve two documents from the lawyer today that say 1- Notice of withdrawal of petition for determination of beneficiaries and for determination of beneficiary shares and 2-Notice of cancellation of hearing. what does all this mean? and does this mean my stepmother who is personal representitive and beneficiary of my father's estate has withdrawn me from recieving equal to my half siblings?
