Re: Settling Intestate

Florida Statutes would control. If there are no children the surviving spouse, if the deceased was still married at the time of death. A divorced or "ex-spouse" would take nothing. If there was no spouse then first to any children. If there are no children, then to parents. If there are no parents, then to siblings. The statutes are fairly complete. I suggest you constact an attorney.
