Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Florida

Can my sister-in-law appoint a different Will Executor/Administrator because she doesn't trust the other one. And how can we apply for that? The deceased never left a will.

The question is a little confusing. If it is your sister-in-law' Will, then she can execute a new Will or Codicil naming someone else.

If it is a Will of someone deceased, then you have to go by the Will. If the person is not qualified by law or doesn't wnat to serve, then that is easy. If they want to serve, and they are qualified by law, then it is much more difficult, and I can't begin to explain what could be done here.

But one point is that you could Petition the Court to require a Bond. In some counties that is automatic anyhow. It might make your sister-in-law more confortable.

If this gives you a direction that you feel worthy of following up, then contact a Probate Lawyer to proceed further.
