Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Florida

My father has had the financial responsibility of maintaining 2 acres of property left by my deceased grandparents, since 2003, there was no will in place. There were six siblings, two of which are now deceased. Of the deceased siblings, the only surviving son is now deceased and the wife of the other is now remarried. Can we get a letter drafted up surrendering the rights of the other siblings to this property without going to probate court? If there is such a letter what is it called? We live in the state of Florida.

Your question cannot be answered in that there is too much missing to figure this out. The incomplete information starts from the beginning. I would need to know the manner by which the beneficiaries of your grandparents property came to own it. Was it in probate or some other means.

Issues such as who survived who, who married who, and the like could factor in depending upon certain time lines.

So you need to go see an attorney to straight this out. Many, like myself, will not charge a consultation fee, so look for that.
