Q: My father passed away 2years ago. There's a will leaving everything to my Cosin. Can I sue to take it all back?
My dad had dementia and didn't know he signed a will because he ask me before he died if I would take card of it all and we would get a will. My Cosin took advantage of daddy. I don't know much of these leagal issues and didn't know what probate was now my Cosin won't give me anything nor will he give my son anything It's been thru probate and my Cosin had me sign somethings but I don't even know what I signed. I've been devistated by my fathers death and even before when he was sick and my Cosin took him away from me and put
him in a nursing home. My Cosin promised he was just trying to help me but he took my daddy and his property
A: I am sorry for your loss. The paper you signed will be very important to know what it is you signed and the other probate documents would need to be reviewed in order to answer your quesion. In probate, you can ask for what Florida Statute would have given you if there was no Will and cousins would not receive anything if there was a surviving child. The situation is more complicated than can be answered in a web post. I would recommend you consult with an attorney. Best of Luck! Jennifer

A:
Sorry for the situation.
You need to consult with a probate attorney in your area. I am concerned about what you may have signed and the length of time since the probate was done.
