Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Florida
estate information
There was a quick claim deed of my fathers property to all of his chldren. He has a total of 8 acres, 5 acres are free and clear with 3 acres financed with his trailer, and 1 acre was quick claim deeded to my sister with her trailer on it, this trailer is also financed with her name on it. None of the acreage is divided. We wanted to know what are we suppose to do with the trailer he passed away in May. How do we go about putting it in someone else's name or is it ok to leave it in his name and the same with the insurance on the trailer. We would also like to divide the land between the 4 children. What was told to us before our father died was that my brother, and I were suppose to get the 4 back acres 2 each, and my sisters were suppose to get the 4 acres in the front . Once the trailer was paid for, the one on 3 acres. One acre of it was to be given to my other sister that was deeded 1 acre already. That way all 4 of his children would have 2 acres each. Would you please give me some suggestions on what we should do. Thank You

You will need to retain a qualified attorney to handle the probate of your father's estate and the division of the property. Be sure that whomever you choose is knowledgable about both real estate and probate matters so that you do not have to hire a second attorney for the division of the property. If all of the siblings are in agreement with the division of the property, it will make the probate much simpler.
