How Do I Know If I am an Interested Party in West Palm Beach Probate Court?

Do you want to file a probate lawsuit but do not know the first thing  about Florida probate litigation? You may want to make sure that you have standing to sue. In most probate courts including West Palm Beach this is called being an interested party. Not sure if you are an interested party after talking to your Florida trust lawyer? Maybe this recent appeal out of the Fourth District Court of Appeals will help. 

Standing to Sue

• Estate lawyers in Florida know that Courts only hear lawsuits from the Parties who have standing to assert them.

Statewide v. Nationstar

• This was an appeal from a foreclosure action from West Palm Beach.
• This was an interesting case because one party filed for summary judgment before the other side had even answered the lawsuit.
• That is not very common at all.
• The issue on appeal was whether or not Nationstar could prove they had standing.
• The Court apparently felt they could not and dismissed the action in favor of the appellants after reviewing it on appeal.
• Florida estate lawyers know that this is just one of a million cases where standing proved to be at issue.
• One common place it rears its ugly head is when you have a probate lawsuit with uninterested parties.
