What is the timeframe for initiating a will contest case in Florida?


In Florida, if you receive the Petition for Administration by official notice, you have a period of 20 days from the date of receiving the official notice to challenge the Will. If you receive the Notice of Administration by official notice, then you have a period of three months from the date of receiving the Notice of Administration to challenge the Will. If you do not receive the Petition for Administration or the Notice of Administration by official notice, then you can contest the Will at any point before the completion of the probate case. Even if the probate case is completed, there’s a possibility that you can initiate a lawsuit in civil court for intentional interference with an expectancy of inheritance.
