Dear Sir or Madam,

I am interested in knowing how the deed was titled. If the deed is left jointly with right of survivorship, you own the property. If the language of survivorship is not on the deed, and you and your father were tenants in common, you may be forced to buy out her interest or go to Probate. Check out a Panama City Probate attorney for a free consultation to review your ownership interest and discuss your options. Knowledge is power; get informed.

Impossible to answer that inquiry without knowing exactly how the deed provides for title. You need to hire an appropriate lawyer to assist you. You may need a probate attorney if your father's interest did not transfer to you upon his death.
