What Do I Do if Someone is Mishandling the Estate?
Video Summary
What do I do if someone is mishandling the administration of an estate? If you’re a beneficiary, then you need to hire an attorney who can then petition the court to have the personal representative of the estate removed and cite how they’re mishandling it. And if they’ve taken any money, you can also ask that they be held responsible for it. It’s called a surcharge. Surcharge, the personal representative. You’ll need to hire an attorney to do that. And so if you have any questions about trying to remove a personal representative or state being mishandled, you can call me at (727) 847-2288.
How Can I Stop the City Rezoning My Neighborhood?
Video Summary
How can I stop the city rezoning my neighborhood? While the city will have to have public hearings, and you all will need to attend those public hearings to voice your opposition to being annexed to the city, and based upon that, if they, I think, have enough people in your neighborhood that are for annexation, then that’s a problem. So, the best thing to do is voice your opposition and attend the public hearings as far as the rezoning, if you have any questions about that, you can call me. It’s not an area that I practice in, but I will try and refer you to an attorney to help you as far as that’s concerned. My phone number is (727) 847-2288.

Can My Neighbors Legally Point a Security Camera at My Property?
Video Summary
Can a neighbor legally point a security camera at my property? I don’t know that it’s a crime. However, you do have a cause of action and it is the invasion of your privacy, and so if they are pointing the camera at your property and where you’re living, well, then that is a problem and you can file an action against them. I don’t know that you would be able to, that there’s any crime involved, although I don’t practice criminal law, and it’s doubtful that you would be able to get the state to prosecute it even if there was such a statute, but you may have a cause of action to enjoin them or keep them from point recording or pointing a security camera toward your home and whatever activities are going on in your home. That’s not an area of practice that I have, so I’ll be glad to talk to you. If you have any kind of a question, I’ll try and refer you to an attorney who may be able to help you with that. My phone number (727) 847-2288.

What Laws or Other Factors are Considered When Distributing Assets Within the Trust?
Video Summary
What laws or other factors are considered when distributing assets within the Trust? The Trust document indicates who the beneficiaries are, what portion of the Trust or amount they are to receive from the Trust when they’re supposed to receive the Trust, and it’s up to the Trustee to administer the Trust. As far as that’s concerned, many times the Trustee is to hold the money, must invest it or whatever to, so it just doesn’t sit there and doesn’t accumulate any income, and then he is obligated to distribute the money pursuant to the provisions of the Trust. The Florida statutes outline the duties of the Trustee and what his fiduciary or responsibilities are and when he should do that. So, the Trust instrument determines the factors involved as far as distribution of Trust assets. If you have any questions, give me a call at (727) 847-2288.
