Financial Discovery in Florida Trust & Estate Cases: Where Did the Money Go and Who Took It?

Are you wondering where all of mom or dad’s money and property went after they were living in  Florida and had Florida wills and trusts and always seemed so organized and financially saavy?  Wondering where the Florida trustee put all the trust funds and assets? Did someone have a Florida power of attorney and are you wondering if the attorney in fact mis-used that Florida power of attorney and mis-appropriated Florida property?  These questions are asked in Florida probate courts almost every day in Palm Beach County, Florida, Broward County, Florida and Miami Dade County, Florida.  If you are wondering where your inheritance is, and why you don’t have answers, you might have to ask those questions in a Florida probate court in Miami, Ft. Lauderdale, Delray Beach, West Palm Beach or  Palm Beach Gardens, Florida.   Many  Florida beneficiaries have basic questions about where a parent or a Florida trustee or Florida power of attorney spent money, and whether that Florida money or property was used on behalf of a parent or not.  Financial discovery by a Florida probate lawyer is a tool under Florida law, which is permitted in Florida probate proceedings to learn about a deceased Florida resident’s assets and property.  Where did the Florida bank accounts go?  Why is the Florida trust so low in value?   Who took the Florida money and by what legal authority?  Beneficiaries of Florida wills, trusts and estates often employ probate litigators in trust and estate cases, disputes, trials and appeals to answer these basic questions.  Probate lawyers can employ very focussed, limited financial discovery to learn where the money went and who took it.  What’s your strategy for a Florida estate, trust or lawsuit?  Advocate hard.  Litigate smart.  Call for a free conference.  561-514-0900
