Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Florida

My dad and I own a home in Florida. I want to take my name off the property title and replace it with my mothers. Do I need to have my fathers signature and approval to do this? or can my mom and I just fill out the paperwork and transfer my ownership in the property to her?

If you and your father own the property as joint tenants, you must have his signature. If you own the property as tenants in common, you can deed your interest to your mother. If you email all the documents to me, I can tell you what to do and how much it would cost to put the title in the names of those who want it. You also need to consider if there are any liens (mortgages) or judgements against anyone involved.
