Re: what can i do
If the house is titled husband and wife jointly with right of survivorship, then it passes directly to the surviving spouse on the death on one of them. Florida law does not require someone to leave anything to their adult child. You may want to have an attorney look at the deed to confirm your rights. Please note you may have a claim on any assets that were only in your fathers name.

She gets the house, the first 60K or estate assets after claims are paid and 50% of the rest. You and any other siblings of your father share the other remaining 50%.
