Condo Appeal in Miami Teaches an Important Lesson Read the Whole Will or Trust!

Want a simple piece of advice that can help you with probate and  almost anything else in life? Always do your homework. Always read the entire will or trust charter. One team of attorneys in Miami forgot to read the entire condominium agreement and ended up with a less than satisfactory appeal. 

The Document Has to be Read as a Whole to Get the Meaning

• If you plan on filing a will contest in West Palm Beach listen up.
• The West Palm Beach probate court is going to read the entire will or trust document that your lawsuit is about.
• That means you should too!
• Maybe this sounds obvious but all too often people find the portion of an agreement that they want to sue about and then forget there are 99 other pages.
• This could be fatal.
• Failure to read the entire document means that you are missing valuable information.
• Not to mention, it could have you or your probate lawyer looking dumb in front of the whole Court!
• Have you read the entire trust charter or will?

100 Lincoln Rd. v. Daxan

• This was an appeal from the Third District Court of Appeal in Miami.
• The parties were debating the application of a right of first refusal.
• The problem is that if one of the parties had read to the bottom of the agreement they would have seen the error in their entire lawsuit.
• Do not let this happen to you.
• If you are filing a probate lawsuit in West Palm Beach, start by reading all the documentation!
• Are you sure that you were even a beneficiary to that will? 
• Reading these types of documents can be hard, they are often complex and very dry.
• If you are unsure what legal documents mean you can always consult and experienced Palm Beach probate litigator to get the answers you need.
• One thing you should not do is go in blind with only half of the documents read.
