We need to open a formal estate administration in the county where the lot is located. If they were married at the time of death, the wife should be able to take title. Please contact my office to discuss the matter further 561-961-5462.

Summary Administration will be required in the county where the property is located. This is a simpler procedure.

Formal Administration is not required because it is over 2 years since the death.
