Probably four years. See Florida Statute 95.11(3)(f). But you have cited the wrong statute; there is no Florida Statute 720.350. You really need to consult with an attorney for this.

Because you were a minor at the time, someone(s) had to be trustee(s) until you would turn 18, unless some other legal arrangement was made for them to be trustees until a later age. In the meantime, the trustees had the duty to spend the money for your benefit, so the first issue is: did they do... Read more »
