By reading the "Response" to your question or comment, you agree that the opinion expressed is not intended to, nor does it, create any attorney-client relationship, nor does it constitute legal advice to any person reviewing such information, nor will it be considered an attorney-client privileged communication. If you do not agree, then stop right here, and do not read any further.

You should have a Quit Claim Deed from your husband to your husband for life with a remainder to you (or directly to you at this time) prepared by a Florida lawyer to ensure that it is prepared and recorded properly. If an error is made, it may not serve your intended purpose which could prove very costly to you.

Re: Death &Sale of Real Property in Florida

An addition to the previous answer. Since you both own the property, any deed should (must) be executed by both you and your husband. Therefore the deed should be from bothof you to H for life remainder to W or to W. Best is to call an attorney in Fl. to assist you.
