What is the name of your state? Florida
My uncle died 2 years ago in the state of Florida. My mother is his step sister and next of kin. They were very close although she lived in another state. She was the one who was athorized to sign the affidavit for the funeral home etc.
She finally got a copy of the will and had expected to be named as a beneficiary but she was only listed as the second beneficiary in the case of the first beneficiary's death. There was also a third beneficiary listed in case my mother died as well. The problem is that the third beneficiary was my uncles dead sister. She had died 2 years before the will was made. Both the first beneficiary as well as my mother had their relationship to my uncle identified in the will where as the sister did not, it just listed her name.
The first page of the will hasn't any signatures or dates but the second and third pages have both. The first page of the copy of the will I got from the court house looks a bit different than the other 2. The margins are different and if you study the typeface under magnification you can tell that it is a bit different. I think that it may have been changed out. What I want to know is can my mother find out what bank held my uncles checking account and request copies of the checks he wrote. We want to see if we can figure out who made the will and any other information as well. Could she see his charge account information as well? Any suggestions or advice?
