My Sister passed away on 9/6/2012 and was a Florida resident. My brother-in-law has not filed the will, which I am mentioned in. I do not have a copy, but was told by my Sister and Brother-in-law that I am in the will. My brother-in-laws daughter (FL lawyer) drew up the will. How should I proceed and what type of lawyer would I need to retain.
You should seek out an attorney who practices in the field of probate. Pursuant to F.S. Section 732.901, the custodian of a will must deposit the will with the clerk of court within 10 days after receiving information that the testator is dead.
