Depending on the value of it, you may be able to do a summary administration, which is substantially less expensive than a full probate.
To get the name changed to yours on the title, you have to go through probate. Summary is the less expensive of the two. There is no other way to get your name on the title.
You have to file the will in the court where your father resided and go through probate. You will need an attorney to assist you. It likely will not be that expensive, depending upon the value of the estate. I have a post on probate basics on my website, www.floridawillmaker.com
