What is the time limit for contesting a will or trust in West Palm Beach, Florida?
July 20, 2026 – Daniel A. Seigel
The time limit, or statute of limitations, for contesting a will in Florida is generally three months from the date of service of the Notice of Administration. For trusts, the statute of limitations is typically four years from the occurrence of the breach or other actionable conduct. However, if a Notice of Trust is filed, the period may be shortened to six months. Acting promptly is fundamental because missing these deadlines can bar your claim.
