Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Florida
Is taping allowed in the state of Florida if your in a public place and in a public setting? Can you use the tape in a court of law if crimes were committed and not be sued? Is recording allowed if your in a public place and a public setting with people all around you talking and you can even hear other people?

This question has nothing to do with probate, wills or estates.

Photographing or videotaping without sound in a public area is allowed. The "tapes" can be used as evidence in Court if they are probative and can be authenticated. Recording voices even in a public setting is much more complicated answer and on these facts cannot be answered. I would suggest you not record any voices despite the setting without notice and knowledge.
