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


I may have posted here before but this is allitle different:

I guess I'll start at begining, My Mother passed away in August 2006. She left house and the property it sits
On to me and my older brother 50/50. He cleaned out her bank account, took all her files, some which were
Mine, I am a 100% totally disabled veteran. I payed for all of mothers funeral expenses myself, payed all the
Probate costs to have house put in my and brothers name. I am single, live in house by myself, pay and have
Payed all property taxes on estate (Small house) and pay all homeowners insurance since Aug 2006. I have
Not seen or heard from my so called brother since Aug 2006. I want to leave house/property and all my
Personal belonings to a friend who lives next door to me and helps me alot. I do not want my brother to profit
Any more than he already has when I pass, I am 55 and hope I will be around for awhile more, But I guess
I want the peace of mind of knowing I have done this.


1.) She left 50% to me to go in specials needs trust fund, when she passed did that automattically happen.
As I said I have not seen or heard from brother since Mother passed. He has done nothing, transfered
nothing.
2.) Can I will my share to the one who helps me most. Do I need living trust too. Is this a tenants in common
as her will says nothing about joint tenants or right of survivership. My share was supposed to be in special
needs trust, can I tranfer my share with will and simple living trust, thank you.
3. Deed is in my brothers name and Trust for me 50/50.
4. Can I transfer my half of house/ property with living trust to the trust on deed (as nothing has been trans-
fered to it yet).
5. I can not afford a lawyer, can I use legal zoom.

I know this is alot, thanks in advance.
:confused:

Lobo - Not being unsympathetic, but you have a complicated situation and you received excellent responses in your last thread. This is not going to be a do-it-yourself project.

Have you tried North Florida Legal Aid, as garrula lingua suggested?
