- In this video, attorney L. Reed Bloodworth discusses common acts of fraud related to Wills, Trusts and Probate.
Fraud, in regards to a will or a trust, is defined as deceiving, tricking, coercing, or lying to the grantor to cause them to establish a will or a trust that favors the person that was committing the bad acts.
Some common examples of fraud related to Wills and Trusts include:
Fraud in the Inducement; and
Fraud in the Execution
Fraud in the inducement occurs when someone convinces a testator or grantor --
through a deception -- that something fraudulent is true and that the will or trust, or
provisions thereof resulted from that deception.
Fraud in the execution occurs when a person misrepresents a document in an attempt
to get a testator or grantor to sign a will or a trust.
It’s a tough first step to take, but filing a Florida will contest or trust dispute if you believe that the will or trust was procured by fraud is the responsible action to take.
Don’t wait to take action, you may have as little as 20 days to file.

So if u don't know you have a trust or inheritance then someone can steal it due to a time limit.... That is criminal
There's a lot wrong with the probate and estate arena that needs to be fixed
@@Stayfocused1984 Yes I'm going through alot trying to get simple questions
@@panamablack9671 You should not have to if you have an attorney
If the person has passed you have a right to the documents depending what state you’re in usually upon demand, within 10 days learn the laws in your state and hire someone
The legal system has become a good scam for people - there is no time limit in traditional law, a wrong is a wrong / theft / trespass and not corrected until remedy is brought. I am sorry to get to this point but i now say, may the wrong follow all perpetrators through all jurisdictions of spirit until they bring remedy to their wrongs and trespasses.
That is disgraceful - time limits are disgraceful when family are grieving
Gwyneth,
Yes, it can be very difficult to deal with grieving the loss of a loved one and think about the legal ramifications of that loss. This is a primary reason why it is important to consult with an experienced probate and trust attorney as soon as possible following the loss of a loved one.
Thank you very much for watching, and all the best to you!
@@BloodworthLawPLLC Thank you kindly for your message, but it is a lawyer who was involved in instigating the fraud and theft of our inherritance - so i have no trust in lawyers or this legal system that has been created to masquerade as law. Law is based in honour and righting wrongs. This does not seem to happen in the legal system. No offence to you here, you may be a rare decent one, but it is time for the fraud and abuse by those in the legal system to stop. Best wishes to you, and i mean that.
It's unfortunate and understandable that you feel this way. Thank you very much, Gwyneth. Best wishes to you as well.
what is the time frame for me to take an action to contest fraud of a probate?
I’m battling my custodian of my UTMA account for access since I’m passed the age of majority and I was told by the clerk that the probate court is limited in its capacity. They refused to do my motion for summary judgment. I’m trying to get my case transferred to Civil court but the clerk isn’t returning my calls. They said they’d call back on Thursday and never did. I called and left a message. I also just placed a motion to transfer. I’m appalled how slow the probate courts are. I’ve been going in this a year so far. I heard it takes years. It shouldn’t be like this to get justice from an abusive custodian!
Wanderful Escape, I am vey sorry to learn of your situation, and I agree that it can be very frustrating. Every case and situation is unique. I suggest calling several probate litigation attorneys in your area for consults in hopes of finding one that you are comfortable with and that can assist you.
Thank you for watching, and all the best to you!
If an attorney and the executrix knowingly filed fraudulent documents of material misrepresentation in court, lied and mislead the heirs, court and judge on the sale of a real estate asset of the estate, didn’t follow the judge’s order confirming the sale, then took a higher court ruling and altered and manipulated it to again, mislead the judge, court and heirs this time to take money from another case!
@freedomovertyranny1512,
Wow. It sounds like you've experienced an incredibly difficult situation. I hope you and your family are ok.
Thank you for watching.
All the best to you!
What happens when a named trustee in a Florida trust fails to begin administration despite them seeking lawyers advice on how to do it? It’s been 6 months since my dad died and my sister has failed to begin the process.
Hi Joslyn M,
I am sorry you are dealing with this frustrating situation. Every case and all the details surrounding it determine legal actions and client options. Other than stating that a trustee of a Florida trust is governed by the Florida Trust Code, I am not able to answer legal questions/give legal advice on social media.
You should speak with a Florida probate and trust litigation attorney regarding your situation.
Thank you for your question and for watching.
Best of luck to you!
Wondering how this applies if I just found out that money was embezzled in a divorce settlement when I was a minor then a trust set up and hidden from me even to this day?
Hi Tasha, and thank you for your question. You must speak with a skilled trust litigation attorney in your state. Provide specifics of your situation to that attorney in a formal consultation so that they may properly advise you.
@@BloodworthLawPLLC I've called a bunch, and no one wants anything to do with it. I'm in the Tampa area, and you appear pretty local
@@tashatorrid Hi Tasha, I have found that same.
@@gwyneth7812 I filed a claim/ motion to compel and my trustee hit me with a protective injunction. Corruption abounds. I got attacked after. I kept applying pressure even after the courts buried the suit and revived it. What a nightmare. Good luck
@@tashatorrid They are vile, dark and corrupt and i am sad that i have got to the point, but i really hope they go to hell. How did you get attacked?
In my case my half brother, i believe and have evidence to show, made a fraudulent will, colluded with a solicitor and accountant in it, concealed valid wills in England and Spain, concealed bank accounts and investments, ordered false adjudications, committed share fraud, violated and perjured a court order. I beleive that the court and police colluded with them to let them off. My half brother said to me once 'everyone's got a price'. It certainly seems that way. There are so few people with honour. I am sorry to get to the point bur say again after 15 years of seeking honour and justice; may they go to hell
What if you didn't know there was a trust?
This is what I need to know?
Thank you for your comments and for watching the video, however, we cannot answer questions on social media. Your case is unique; you should contact an experienced attorney in your state by phone to set an appointment to discuss the details.
Can, if a person doesnt want to contest but can prove beyond a preponderance that the other person commited fraud or engaged in undue influence, can they still file charges and request an investigation? Also, can they be sued civilly for fraud while not technically filing to contest?
where to next? Good questions.
It's important that you speak with attorneys in your state who handle the area of law that you need help in. Consult with experienced attorneys who can answer your questions. Your details, your paperwork, information will need to be shared so that they may fully answer all of your questions.
@@BloodworthLawPLLCyes my next ( $500 per hour) consult is next week. I love him but he's so busy and as new information unfolds about my case I am gathering my talking points to be as educated as possible to decide what to do.
I've also decided to hone in on probate law and I want to bring two motions into the courts.
I want to have the “ probable cause” clause mandatory in every state to protect beneficiaries from unsavory trustees and be sure their no contest wills are ignored when there's probably cause. It's in American.
I also want to bring a pkea in the Federal courts to demand that in every State there is a mandatory video and or audio recordings of every change amendment or codicils..anything like that and it to be mandatory the person audibly and coherently give a brief explanation of what they are signing.
I just found out that my sisters lawyer allowed a witness to a will change who is also a beneficiary so cant wait to see how this unfolds.
Sorry for rambling lol. I'm just so sick of unethical people and the lawyers who collaborate with them,
Hi where to next,
Understandable. It sounds like there are many things going on. Having the right attorney is important, and being prepared for your meetings to maximize time.
You seem to have a good handle on what to do next. Waiting is always the toughest part. Cases take time.
Thank you for watching. Best of luck in your legal situation.
@@Stayfocused1984 I'm with you there.
My brother and I never get along ,hes older , and owners a company , so when mom passed away he ran up there grabbing everything..with his contractor crew , trucks trailers, my mom told me before she passed ,she just redid the will in my favor , I get car and a whole lot of other stuff ,,, I never got nothing ... I dont know how to find the lawyer , Wichita falls tx. ,moms name laresa Turnbow... please help me get justice please...🙏
Sorry Cody, it sounds like you should talk with a Texas probate litigation attorney, as we only handle Florida cases.
My father died in 1992 and his father passed in 1993. I was the sole heir and I was only 13. I accidentally located a warranty deed with vendors lean than says I was the grantor of the home as a minor with no guardian (false). The executrix sold the property to her children for $10, who happen to be the current owners. We (my mother and myself) were never informed of this. Its been a long time and I only discovered this yesterday while searching the database for a DBA. Is there a remedy in Tx available? I read that if I bring a claim within one year of learning about it no matter what the time frame is. Any guidance would be appreciated. The deed transfer was in 1993.
Hi Hollie,
That was probably very shocking information to learn about in that manner. We practice in Florida only, but there are excellent attorneys in Texas.
Research probate litigation attorneys in Texas, read their reviews, then talk with several so that you can find someone you are confident in and comfortable with.
Thank you for watching and for your question. Best of luck in resolving your situation.
@@BloodworthLawPLLC thank you for responding and giving me a good place to start. I appreciate the videos and your willingness to share your knowledge.
Hollie, you are very welcome.
Shld there be 2 separate orders establishing lost will?
what if victim Never received notice due to Intentionally being removed from Probate Court "notify" list. To Insure I couldn't Diiscredit Fraudulent Documents PLUS Embezzlement
Hi Laura Yngblood,
We're unable to answer questions on Social Media because any question asked will depend upon details, timing, parties, and states involved.
It's common to want to ask questions when surprised by information.
By speaking to an attorney in your state who handles Probate Litigation and providing them with specifics, you'll be able to receive informed answers.
Thank you for watching, and for your question.
Best to you!
So not contacting rightful ownership is deliberate hence the limited amount of time
Samimi Spartan,
That's one way to look at it. If you look at the other side of things, there are reasons for wanting a trust or probate to end that are completely innocent.
Each situation is different. Thank you for watching and for your comment.
How can we talk to you? We need a trust attorney like yesterday.
Sharkman,
Thank you for watching! Please feel free to call my office at (407) 777-8541, or contact us from our website at lawyerfightsforyou.com/contact-orlando-florida-attorney/
All the best to you!
What about learning that you and your siblings would receive so much a month and you need a lump some now? If we all live another 20 yrs. we would only receive less than half. The remainder goes to a local college upon our death.
We're unable to reply on social media. It's important to speak directly with an attorney as every case is so different and depends upon the entire situation involved.
What if there's no will
Hi CL, thank you for your question - and it’s a big one. You should talk with an attorney in your state about this question. It requires knowledge of all the details for an answer that will vary based on the situation. Speak with a skilled trusts & estates litigator who can respond with the facts in front of them. Thank you very much for watching.
Can a solicitor influence a client to change their will against the clients true wish ?
Hi Jimney Sweep, we cannot respond to issues on social media. It's best to contact an attorney to discuss your question. You may contact us through the website. Thank you for your comment.
Lawyer Fights For You thank you for reply

Hi Isabel Duarte, it can be very frustrating when people do illegal things and force you to fight for what is yours. It's terrible that those things happened to you.
I need your help bro
