Aunt of deceased baby father files for probate and lied about him having a son
My son’s father passed in February, we live in Florida in broward county, his aunt filed probate for his estate and lied on the application saying that he has no child.
He only had 1 child with me and never been married to me or anyone else so my son is his only heir. She is doing this out of spite and I know it.
I found out this today. I never filed for probate because I didn’t know his assets, he didn’t have a property and his car wasn’t fully paid, I know he has a 401k and most likely a good amount in his savings but not sure how to find out. I guess he has enough since the aunt decided to file for it and it’s a “formal administration”
What can I do? Should I call her lawyer and tell him he in fact has a son and she knowingly lied about it? What if she decides to challenge it? This is so stressful
