NOTICE OF ADMINISTRATION
The administration of the estate of LEONARD J. HILL, JR, deceased, is pending in the Circuit Court of Lee County, Florida, Probate Division, the address of which is P.O. BOX 9346, Fort Myers, Florida 33902, File Number 26-CP- 384. The estate is testate and the date of the decedent's will is November 16, 2016.
The name and address of the personal representative and the personal representative's attorney are set forth below. The fiduciary lawyer-client privilege in Florida Statutes Section 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 who challenges the validity of the will or codicils, venue or jurisdiction of the court is required to file any objection with the court in the manner provided in the Florida Probate Rules WITHIN THE TIME REQUIRED BY LAW, which is 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 three (3) month time period may only be extended for estoppel based upon 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), 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 one (1) year after service of the Notice of Administration.
The persons who may be entitled to exempt property under Section 732.402, Florida Statutes, 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 four (4) months after the date of service of a copy of the Notice of Administration on such persons or the date that is forty (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; and
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.
