Palm Beach Gardens, FL asked in Probate for Florida

Q: I filed a will contest. It has been over 6 months & there are no updates or actvity on the docket. What should I do?

Grounds for will contest is undue influence. I also included the case number for Department of Children and Families / Adult Protective Services Investigation Findings of Financial Exploitation against the same person that filed the fraudulent will in court. I also included supporting documents (which includes the Authentic Will). The Department of Children and Families / Adult Protective Services would not give me a copy of their investigation because I was not a part of the investigation.

I would also like to stop that person from filing additional lawsuits on behalf of the decedent's estate, which he is currently doing. He is not the true representative of the decedent's estate.

A: It appears that you will have to hire a FL attorney. You will not be able to proceed pro se and accomplish anything. Voluntary Dismissal may be in order, and intervention in the Probate may be a better option.
