Summary
In Florida, contesting a will is generally limited to three months from the notice of administration. Since your father passed away three years ago, it may be difficult to contest the will now. However, consulting a probate attorney could help explore any exceptions or other legal avenues. For emotional distress claims related to life support decisions, a personal injury attorney can provide guidance. Landlords in Florida cannot charge fees for emotional support or service animals, but they can request documentation and charge for damages. Consider seeking legal aid or pro bono services for assistance.Full Conversation
