My mother died and I need to probate her will. It has been 3 years since she died. How long do I legally have to probate her will? I haven't done it because I can't afford a lawyer. Will I get into legal trouble for not probating the will? How long do you have in the State of FL to Probate a will?

You only have to probate an estate when there is an asset requiring it. If your mother had no assets to probate (assets that were just in her own name), then all you need is to file her Will with the court.
For more information, consult with a Probate Attorney. Many, including myself, do not have a consultation fee.
