What are my rights as a widow under Florida probate law?
- Palm Beach probates provide very valuable inheritance rights for widows and wives and husbands who survive
- Under the Florida probate code, a spouse can automatically inherit 30-50% of the Palm Beach estate depending on a number of factors such as
- Was there a Florida will?
- Did the Florida will leave you out? Cut you out? Disinherited?
- Did the Florida will leave everything to someone else like an old spouse or a different beneficiary?
- Did your husband or wife forget to change the will?
- Are all his assets in joint accounts or survivor accounts? Pay on death? Do you know how to get those ?
- If there is not will, you can still inherit 50% or half of the Boca Raton estate.
- Delray Beach probate lawyers know that it doesn’t (necessarily) matter what the will or the Boynton Beach living trust says. Widows get a guaranteed inheritance in Palm Beach estates!
- Unless you waived your estate rights or signed a prenuptial agreement in Florida.
- Do you know how to get your 30% elective share under the Florida probate code and how to enforce your Florida estate rights in the Lake Worth probate?
- Do you know what assets are counted in the “elective estate” and the Florida Elective Share?
- Are you familiar with the specific probate procedure under the Florida Probate Code for determining entitlement to the elective share and how to figure out how much it is?
