Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Florida

Our mother recently passed away here in FL. The will stated that the home was to be divided evenly between the 3 children. All have agreed that the home should go to the one that moved & took care of her. How do we change the title to her?

Depending upon how it is owned will dictate the correct procedure.

Assuming the home was owned solely by her and is her homestead, you will have to file an action in court to declare it homestead, and distribute it pursuant to her Will. Then the 2 children that want to gift it away can do a Deed to the 3rd child. An attorney will be required.

If I can be of further assistance, please let me know. 888-475-1732
