Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Florida
In Florida, is it necessary to acquire a new deed to a property if one of two joint owners with rights of survivorship dies? The concern is having an asset in the deceased person's name that creditors might try to make a claim against.

No. You need to record their death certificate. Then someone examining title will read it together.
Now if a judgment was against the person, recorded properly before the death, then the judgment could attach. Not after the death.
