Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Florida

My boyfriend owned a home in Florida since 1998. In 2006, he added my name and JTRS to the deed. On July 14, 2015 he passed away in NJ. He also owned a home in NJ in which he just filed bankruptcy on (in NJ) because of back taxes an other financial matters.
The Will: After all financial obligations are paid, there are the following specific bequest: he bequeathed 1/3 to myself and bequeathed 2/3 to his son. The rest/remainder of his estate and property goes to his son. (in which they have not had a relationship for over 5 years.
The only thing I care about is our home in Fl. Where do I stand? Is the home now mine and goes only in my name? and does this home have to go through probate? Not that it matters but we lived together for 29 years. Thank you for any information you can give me.
