Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Florida

what kind of deed do i need

My uncle has mental disabilities and didnt know he owed property taxes and when he found out that he had them they were 6 years late. Interest as grown and late fees. He has no money and was leaving the house to me. We agreed I would pay the taxes and the and property would be mine, but he can still live there the rest of his life. What kind of paperwork do we need?

Thank you,
