You will probably have to ask the Court for an order to divest and convey that interest. Then the share proceeds will be held in the Court's registry account.. Hire an AL attorney.

You will need an attorney to read the proposed affidavit and advise what to do. You did not state what it says. It may be declaring heirship or allowing her to serve as administrator with no will, or something else.

This isn’t exactly a question, but what you say raises questions for me!
One of the best basis for challenging the validity of a will is ‘undue influence’ and by acting as a witness to a will lusting you as a beneficiary the appearance is that you ‘influenced’ the testator.... View More

I wasn't raised by my biological father I didn't know about him till I was a adult he looked me up. I just found out he passed without a will and my half sister is handling probate and said she was only child. What do I need to do to get my inheritance?
answered on Jan 8, 2025
You may need to take action to come forward and prove your relationship to the deceased, potentially by filing a petition with the court to open the probate case back up or to contest the distribution of assets that has already occurred.

Hire a WA attorney to intervene as an heir in the Probate Case. If there is a will, you still might get an intestate share. Time is of the essence.
As a result of the assignment, I am now the sole beneficiary. I am also the administrator of the estate. I would like to know if I need to sign a waiver of accounting and if the assignor also needs to sign a waiver.

Assuming the mother was a resident of Florida when she died, a Florida probate case probably must first be filed. He, of course, would need an attorney licensed to practice law in Florida.
Decedent was 26YO, unmarried, no children, survived by mother and father. The father has been estranged for the decedent's whole life and the mother (administering the small estate) does not know how to contact him.
State recognized me as her care giver. I lost my home while caring for her.
