Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Florida

Re: Life Insurance Proceeds

First, it's not clear to me if suit has actually been filed. If it has, then whoever is representing the middle brother and sister needs to evaluate it and try to resolve it quickly. There are ways to do this; but I can't specifically tell you how to do it because I'm not involved in the suit and I don't know exactly where it is at.

If suit hasn't been filed, then suit hasn't been filed. I don't know what the statute of limitations is on this, but eventually it will pass and he won't be able to bring suit.

If you do not agree, then stop right here, and do not read any further.

If the matter is brought into court, it will usually be resolved in a relatively quick period of time. Of course, the attorneys for any party can stall the litigation but the state court system tries to move cases along. It should not take years fighting over the issues.
