A: You will need to contact a Florida Probate Attorney and they will have to review all the documents you received, have been asked to sign and all the probate related documents filed will need to be reviewed. It is vital for an attorney to look over any documents you are being asked to sign and they will also have to represent you to make sure that your interests related to the probate and as a beneficiary are protected.
