Q: If assets of a will are recovered can what was recovered be dispersed to my lawyer, the PR, and myself and …
I’m a beneficiary of a Will. Another beneficiary is also the executor. Even through formal administration, he kept the accounting from the court and the probate lawyer. The executor took the entire state and ran with it. That may we froze the estate assets or what were left of them. The new PR hired by the court is also a forensic accountant. Were located about $500,000 value on what the deceased left but believe there is more. Almost $50,000 was left in accounts. I am entitled 10% in accordance with the will.
Cont… if more assets are found those dispersed at that time!
A: No, a probate would need to be opened or re-opened and all matters formally addressed through the probate and or per the previous petitions and signed orders that followed. Generally, if the probate was closed it would need to be opened again, you will need to speak with and or secure a Florida Probate Attorney with this if you do not currently have one.
