Under certain circumstances and depending on their relationship to the decedent a person may challenge a will in Florida. A testator cannot disinherit their spouse. The spouse can claim 30% of the estate under Florida law.

An adult child can be disinherited by simply leaving them out of the will. However, it is better to mention that you leave them nothing in the will in order to make it clear that you are disinheriting them. A child who is simply not mentioned in a will can try to challenge it on the grounds that you forgot to mention your child. If the challenge is successful, the child will be awarded a statutory share in the estate.

However, there are certain grounds for making a challenge:

  • The will wasn't signed in accordance with applicable state laws.
  • The Testator lacked testamentary capacity to sign a will.
  • The Testator was unduly influenced into signing a will.
  • The will was procured by fraud.

Can a person sue the homeowner if they get in a fight on private property?

Depends on who they get in the fight with. They can always sue. Whether they will be successful or not will depend on the situation. If two people with no connection with the homeowner get in a fight, there shouldn't be any ability to sue.


When a harassment report is filed does the person doing the harassing get notified?

Yes. When a person is being accused of doing something, be it in a court of law or in the workplace, they are notified of the situation. A report can not be placed into an employee's file without first notifying the employee of the report. They (management) will then take whatever measures deemed pertinent in the specific situation. The person being accused of harassment has the right to face their accuser in a court of law, if this is a civil matter, and has the right to defend themselves of the accusations. If it is in the workplace, depending on evidence compiled or lack thereof, the employee being accused of harassment also has avenues to defend themselves against the accusations. In either case, expect that the employee will either fight the accusations or be fired or quit. Remember that a person filing a harassment charge or report is protected under federal law from reprisals. This means that you can not, under any circumstances, be punished for filing the report. If you feel that you are being "picked on" because of it, seek the advice of an attorney or the Department of Labor.
