What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? IN

My grandfather made a revocable living trust that was notarized in Indiana. In the trust he had listed property in Florida. My mom is listed as the trustee and was to get the property in FL. It's been 7 yrs since my grandfather died and my parents are in Florida now trying to take care of the property so they can sell it. I don't think my grandfather changed the deeds on any of the property listed in the trust. They are getting conflicting advise on what they should do. The trust says it is governed by the laws in Indiana but the property is in Florida and we are confused. Please help!

Property records are available on line. Check them in the county where the home is to learn if grandpa changed the deed. You can read about FL's probate statutes under Wills & Trusts at http://www.flsenate.gov/statutes[/url

What is the answer? Get an attorney. Someone along the line screwed up. You can't fix this for free. Get an attorney.

No free fix. Get an attorney. You have a problem. Get an attorney. Can it be fixed? Maybe. Get an attorney.

What do *you* think you should do?

(Hint: It's been mentioned four times in this post.)

Thanks for the advise. Don't you think we've tried this already? Attorneys are where we are getting our conflicting advise. One attorney that deals with probate in FL says that this is a trust and does not need to go through probate. Another one says that we need a lawyer from IN. One from IN says that since the property is in FL we need to have an attorney in FL.

Real estate is governed by the law where it is.

Get a lawyer across the street from the courthouse where this property is.

Or, to rephrase it another way using different words, "Get an attorney."
