The estate will need to be probated in order for you to get the title to the car in your name.
I agree with Attorney Grosse. Depending on the facts, you may need to buy out your cousin, for what may be her share of the car. Again it is fact specific. You should contact an attorney.
File the will in the probate court where you cousin resided. The probate court will administer the estate and transfer legal title to any assets, such as the cars. Unless you were already on the titles, you cannot just change them yourselves after her death. If you need further assistance, contact a Florida attorney. I have a blog post on probate basics at my website, www.floridawillmaker.com. Regards,
