How do I Get my Inheritance in Florida if I Live Out of State?

Did your mother or father die in Florida, owning a bank account, a small house, or condo? Perhaps, you live out of state, not in Florida, and you’re wondering where your inheritance is. I can’t tell you how many calls we get from out of state adult children,  who have just lost a parent who lived in Florida.

Many times, children can inherit their parent’s house but don’t know how to get it. Sometimes they don’t get along with a brother or sister who may be living in Florida, or who may actually be living in their parent’s house. Consider hiring an experienced Florida probate lawyer who can advise you about your inheritance rights. Inheritance rights, for adult children who have a parent who died without a will, are very valuable. You may have automatic and guaranteed inheritance rights to your parent’s house, and you may not even know it. To get your inheritance, consider opening a West Palm Beach probate. Opening a Florida probate is relatively easy and straightforward. Of course you can get more complicated and litigious if your siblings don’t get along with you or they fight you. Also, you could file a partition lawsuit, if necessary, to get your parent’s house. What is, perhaps, most important is that you hire a Florida probate lawyer who has litigation and trial experience.
