What are my rights after my husband's death and his will's provisions?
My Husband and I married 5 years ago and have one child born after our marriage.

We have not found another Will and I am not aware that he made one. We live in Florida. What are my rights?

What happens to unlisted property in a Florida Will without a residuary clause?
My Father made a Will and it he he provided that certain property go to certain children. However, he did not list all of his property. The estate lawyer also tells me that there was not "residuary clause" in the Will and therefore some of his property that was not mentioned does not pass under the Will. What does that really mean? We all live in Florida.
