Q: Do you have to give back money to the Palm Beache if it wasn’t your fault?
A: Of course !
Read your estate receipt which you signed: it probably says what the Florida Probate Code says: if an improper distribution was made, you have to return the over-payment…………….and….. maybe some interest or gains, too………….
