Florida Probate and Estate Law - Is it Too Late, (When was it too late) | Aug 10, 2026 | Sourced from Reddit
Location: West Palm Beach, Fl My spouse's mother passed away in May 2011 in the state of Florida when my wife had just turned 18. After her mother's passing older relatives took over the estate. There was no spouse and no other children to inherit. No details were ever discussed with my wife, no last will was ever shown to her. However, money was routinely given to her for the next five years and she implicitly agreed to this system, always accepting the money. The amounts paid for her college education, car, and living expenses during that time. The funds stopped about six months after her graduation when she got a full time job. There was also a house that was in my wife's name that was foreclosed on for reasons that remain a mystery to me. I met my wife when she had just turned 23 and met the family members who supposedly controlled the remaining estate. They quickly revealed themselves to be verbally abusive one holiday dinner and I suggested we leave to which my spouse gladly agreed. Neither of us have been able to contact these family members since that night. After contact stopped my wife became greatly concerned about her mother's estate. She is convinced money was stolen from her by her relatives. For the last ten years we have fought about this. She wants to hire a lawyer and spend money we don't have to fight family who probably don't have anything. Her mother, while…
Florida probate question | Aug 9, 2026 | Sourced from Reddit
Location: Hillsborough County, Florida I found unclaimed money under my grandfather’s name on fltreasurehunt.gov. He passed away about 20 years ago. He had two sons. My father (deceased) and my uncle. I’ve reached out to my uncle by phone and email about the unclaimed funds but haven’t heard from him. If he refuses contact do I have any legal recourse to claim the funds? If I do make contact and he is disinterested in pursuing the unclaimed funds, do I have any legal recourse to claim? Thanks in advance for any guidance.
At-fault driver died after accident, no probate estate exists. How do I file a property damage lawsuit? | Aug 5, 2026 | Sourced from Reddit
Location: Florida I was involved in a motor vehicle accident in August 2025. The other driver was found at fault, and his insurer is Progressive. My car is a 1992 Volvo 240 wagon. Progressive declared it a total loss and initially offered around $1,700. After I disputed the valuation with documentation and comparable sales, they increased the offer to about $2,400. I still believe the valuation is well below the actual market value, and negotiations have stalled. I'm now preparing to file a small claims action (under Florida's $8,000 jurisdictional limit), but I've run into a procedural issue. The at-fault driver has since passed away. I contacted both the Santa Rosa County and Okaloosa County probate divisions, and both confirmed that no probate estate has been opened. I then asked Progressive whether they knew of an estate, a personal representative, or defense counsel. Their response was that they are not aware of any estate or personal representative. I also noticed that the release Progressive asked me to sign would have released both the deceased driver and his wife from liability, but it doesn't identify her as a personal representative or otherwise explain her legal role. I've tried getting a consultation through the Florida Bar referral service, but the attorney I was referred to never responded. My questions are: If there is no probate estate, who is the proper defendant in a Florida property damage lawsuit? Is there a procedure to have a personal representative appointed solely so the lawsuit can…
