Deceased.
TO: UNKNOWN HEIRS, BENEFICIARIES AND INTERESTED PERSONS OF THE ESTATE OF PATRICIA ANN BELL
The administration of the estate of PATRICIA ANN BELL, File No. 23-CP-2386, deceased, is pending in the Twelfth Judicial Circuit Court for Sarasota County, Florida, Probate Division, the address of which is Circuit Court for Sarasota County, Florida. The Courthouse address is Sarasota County Clerk of Courts, 2000 Main Street, Room 201, Sarasota, Florida 34237.
The estate is intestate. The names and addresses of the personal representative and the personal representative's attorney are set forth below.
Be advised that the fiduciary lawyer-client privilege in Florida Statute 90.5021 applies with respect to the personal representative and any attorney employed by the personal representative.
Any interested person on whom a copy of the notice of administration is served must file, on or before the date that is three (3) months after the date of service of a copy of the notice of administration on that person, any objection that challenges the validity of the will, the venue, or the jurisdiction of the court. The 3-month time period may only be extended for estoppel based upon a misstatement by the personal representative regarding the time period within which an objection must be filed. The time period may not be extended for any other reason, including affirmative representation, failure to disclose information, or misconduct by the personal representative or any other person. Unless sooner barred by section 733.212(3), Florida Statutes, all objections to the validity of a will, venue, or the jurisdiction of the court must be filed no later than the earlier of the entry of an order of final discharge of the personal representative, or 1 year after service of the notice of administration
The persons who may be entitled to exempt property under Florida Statutes 732.402 will be deemed to have waived their rights to claim that property as exempt property unless a petition for determination of exempt property is filed by such persons or on their behalf on or before the later of the date that is 4 months after the date of service of a copy of the notice of administration on such persons or the date that is 40 days after the date of termination of any proceedings involving the construction, admission to probate, or validity of the will or involving any other matter affecting any part of the exempt property.
Unless an extension is granted pursuant to s. 732.2135(2), an election to take an elective share must be filed on or before the earlier of the date that is 6 months after the date of service of a copy of the notice of administration on the surviving spouse, or an attorney in fact or a guardian of the property of the surviving spouse, or the date that is 2 years after the date of the decedent's death.
Under certain circumstances and by failing to contest the will, the recipient of the notice of administration may be waiving his or her right to contest the validity of a trust or other writing incorporated by reference into a will.
