Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Florida

Before her death, Mom transferred her house and property with a General Warranty Deed to my sister, who now lives in the house. She is Executor. She claims transfer of house and property to her included all contents of the house. Attorney who executed the deed agrees. Nothing in the deed addresses contents of the house and nobody is able to produce any other documentation stating such Mom�s will states clearly that her estate, less specifically bequeathed items, be evenly divided amongst her 3 children. What do I now ? Property is in Florida.

Contents should include things related to house such as furniture, appliance, linens, displayed art, not personal things such as jewelry, collections, cars , cash etc.

Fixtures are included. I am not so sure about furniture linens etc. I think you need to hire an attorney to review all the paperwork. The personal property could have been gifted though and no longer part of the Estate.
