Q: Where do I get online access to revocable trust document/information and probate information for a deceased parent in FL

A: For probate information, in other words, to see if an application has been filed in court to appoint a personal representative pursuant to a will, or in an intestate (no will), find the website for the clerk of court in the county where the deceased parent resided. You would look under "court documents" (usually where the information would be found) and do a search under the name of the decedent.

For other documents, such as those pertaining to real property title, search the website, also for the clerk of court for the county, and search under something like "official records". Or search the website for the property appraiser. Once you find who has title to the property once owned by the decedent, you can ask that person for further information. Or, if the real property is still in the name of the decedent, it is possible that the trust documents are not yet online.

A: Any documents that you are seeking related to a Will and or probate commencement you can check online or contact the clerk of the court in the Florida County where they were residents, you can get copies of these documents through the clerk, if you are an interested party, beneficiary, you should and can request it from the probate attorney, they may or may not be very helpful without your own attorney, it varies. While they should provide all this, they may or may not based on your status in the estate, interest and whether you are a named beneficiary. If no probate has been filed, you can get an attorney and file a probate based on your relationship and interest in estate. A trust copy you will have to request from the trust trustee, they should and must file a notice of trust with clerk of court, but you have to get or request a copy of the trust from the trustee, again, without an attorney potentially varying luck though they are legally obligated to provide it and other things if you are a named beneficiary. You can and should start with the clerk of the court and go from there I would recommend, if you are having issues with estate, personal representative of estate, trustee, estate attorney, you may need ot get your own legal counsel to look out for your interests and answer your questions ongoing.
