In Florida if you are a beneficiary a potential heir, you are entitled to an inventory and accounting. As An Atlanta Georgia Estate Planning Lawyer wrote in their article AS A BENEFICIARY OR HEIR OF A GEORGIA PROBATE ESTATE, YOU ARE ENTITLED TO AN INVENTORY AND ACCOUNTING IN GEORGIA PROBATE COURT – REMEMBER, “POSSESSION IS NINE-TENTHS OF THE LAW”, SO ACT QUICKLY AND WITH KNOWLEDGE, it is important to act fast.
It is often frustrating for beneficiaries that this doesn’t happen quickly or automatically. Often beneficiaries only receive these documents after a Florida Probate Attorney makes a formal request for them.
