Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Florida
I was the executor of my parent's estate, they both had wills which were part of their Trust. My mother had alzheimer's disease and did not have a DPOA and I obtained guardianship over her, I had DPOA for my father. Both my parents died within 7 months, first my father and then my mother. The estate was settled 2 1/2 years ago and I was relieved at that time as executor. I recently learned that my father has unclaimed funds from an insurance company- dividends of approximately $300.00 and shares of $4,500. How do I go about settling this? Funds have been turned over to the State Treasury.

You need to re-open the estate and obtain a court order to have the funds distributed. A probate lawyer is required, and it shouldn't be difficult to do.
