Is there a way to force someone to sell the homes in an estate if they weren't left to me?

Answered by attorney Robert James Slotkin (Unclaimed Profile)

You need to open a probate file in your county. Unless there was a will that says otherwise, you should petition to be the executrix (called personal representative). As execurtrix, you can force sale of the homes. If there is already an estate and you re not executrix, you can schedule a hearing with the judge and ask him to force a distribution. Estates are required to be closed in a year, so it should be wrapped up. Once you get your share of the houses, you can force a sale through a partition action, a court proceeding which requires a sale of property if one co-owner requests it.

Yes, in Florida if a person is survived by a spouse, the spouse gets to keep the first $20,000 in household property and up to 2 cars. However, there is an exception if the item(s) was specifically bequeathed to someone else in the will.
