What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Florida
my grandfather died, leaving everything to my grandmother. My grandmother died June 20, 20008. my father is the executor of the will and instructed family members NOT to tell me she died because he doesn't want me to get what was left to me.
If I order a certified copy of the will, will my name and address be logged in somewhere, thus stopping my father from falslely telling the court he can't locate me?What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)?

Q: If I order a certified copy of the will, will my name and address be logged in somewhere, thus stopping my father from falslely telling the court he can't locate me?

A: That is possible. By the way, order the whole file.

Why not just send your father a ceritified letter with your address?

I doubt that executors are required to look for who may have requested a copy of the probate file.

He is unlisted and my Uncles don't want to get involved so they won't give it to me either.

When you obtain a copy of the probate file, you'll have his address and phone number.

You can read FL's probate statutes under Estates & Trusts at www.flsenate.gov/statutes

Dad has 10 days to present the will to probate. Dad has to notify all beneficiaries.

My Grandma died on 6/20/2008, buried on 6/23/2008, my dad filed something on 6/26/2008. He is an extremely dishonest person. If he says he couldn't find me, what happens next?

Wait until you can see if you get a copy of the will before you decide how to proceed. IF you are named in it there is virtually nothing he can do to cheat you out of your money since it is public record, but if you still feel he will be dishonest you can get your own attorney while probate is still in process to file a claim on your behalf to make sure he has your contact information.

If he has filed something with the court, than it's public records ad you can get a copy of it. I believe that you can also notify the court of your address... you really ought to speak to a attorney about how to do this.
