Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Florida

Why a will is not on record yet?

My mother died over 4 years ago in Fla. At the time my Aunt was taking care of her and my mother made her the executor and beneficiary to which she was suppose to keep safe the money and items that were to go to my daughter.

I knew,as well as all her friends,that my daughter was the sole beneficiary to her estate,but this supposed new will named my aunt. I was told I was not allowed to see the will.As of this time it is still not on record at the courthouse.

I feel,as everyone else also,that my aunt influenced my mother.

Why would this will still not be on record and how would I go about getting a copy?

I am very frustrated,please help.
