Legal Answers
725 Questions Answered
- Q. My husband of 30yrs died and the bank says I have no right to the money in his bank accounts. We live in Jacksonville.
- A: You should make a list of all assets that your husband owned at death. If your husband had a will then property would pass under that will. If he did not have a will, then the assets would pass under the intestate laws of Florida. As a spouse, if a will exists, you either can take under the will or against the will. Either way you will inherit (at least your elective share) as Florida law forbids a spouse from being disinherited. Despite not having money to hire a lawyer, most probate lawyers only get paid after the will is probated after the court approves the testator distributions.
- Q. How can I transfer ownership of my deceased parents property in Lehigh, Florida ?
- A: Depending on the value of the estate, you could pursue summary administration or formal administration. However, if the assets are titled in a way that they could pass outside probate (like a joint account, a TOD account or trust account with your name on said title), then probate could be avoided. Schedule a consultation with a probate lawyer to explore the facts of your case and the legal options available to you.
- Q. Hi, Who is responsible for my 14 child's medical bills (No Insurance)when he was bit by a rattlesnake inside his school.
- A: A school has a legal duty to make sure their premises is safe for students that attend. If the school was on actual/constructive notice that a rattlesnake was crawling around the property, (and failed to take corrective action), then the school would be liable. This would depend on the unique facts of the case. You should reach out to one of us for possible contingency-fee representation, which means you don’t pay anything, unless you win the case.
