Whfat is the name of your state? Florida

A bank in charge of an elderly family member's money due to incompetancy has lost a tremendous amount of money, and now after the person died, this bank has not filed the will in court so the executor and only heir can do nothing with the house etc. left to him. The court tells us the will should be filed in 10 days, but they don't enforce it! Now what? Seems they are in no hurry to give up this fund they have reduced by 3/4 over 4 years. The bank also was supposed to take care of her valuables etc. there is none of her jewelry left in the house and the bank has not shown the contents of her safety deposit box nor have they given copies of anything out.

Any advice for us is much appreciated.
