[WSBAPT] Beneficiary in Prison- Advice Needed

[Julie Martiniello]

I am wondering if anyone that has experience with a beneficiary in prison
or a similar scenario and  would be willing to chat with me and lend some
advice.

This is my first probate where a beneficiary is in prison and will be in
prison in Florida for what appears to be many many years. The prison only
allows postcards to come via mail. I am not sure how to provide him notice
of the proceedings and how his distribution works, especially since it
appears there is a large restitution judgement against him and I assume the
State will get first dibs. To complicate matters, this probate is being
opened 15 years after death to deal with property that was never handled
and there is likely to be some contention regarding allocation of the
estate.

In this case would I request a Guardian Ad Litem to be appointed? Any
advice or direction would be very much appreciated.
