No, in most case a 16 year old cannot hire their own attorney without the consent of their parent. This is unless the law of the state that the child is living in, dictates otherwise.

Is it necessary to hire an attorney for probate proceedings in Florida when a person has died with no will and the parents are the only heirs?
Yes it is necessary to see an attorney because the deceased has not left a Will. All debts of the deceased must be paid off and that is why there is "Probate." This includes property taxes, personal taxes, charge cards, etc. If the deceased had no property or nothing to leave behind then everything becomes null and void. The parents would not be responsible for those debts unless they cosigned for a loan. You may want to consult an attorney, but if the son died without owning real estate or major assets with a title (like a motor vehicle), and no children of his own, the lawyer will probably tell you not to worry about probating the estate. Interesting that a Canadian feels comfortable answering a legal question about Florida, and that this site allows it.

What can you do if your parents adopt you without adoption papers?
In many cases when adoption papers haven't been signed this is a good indication that either someone in the family was pregnant with you and for reasons of their own could't look after you, so your adoptive parents took over. Even a friend of one of your adoptive parents. Most adoptions that are legal are in the records of that adoption agency and the papers are for protection purposes so that child can never be taken away from the adoptive parents. Please sit down with your parents and tell them you are old enough for the truth. Assure them you still love them, but you feel a large void in your life and you need to know who your real parents are so you can get on with your life. I doubt they will refuse, but if they do, you can either try to find out the adoption agency, or if this is too hard hire a detective to find out who your parents were. Good luck Marcy
