Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Florida

I own a house in Florida. 1/2 in my dad's name and the other 1/2 in my name. It's 25 years old with 3 years left on the mortgage.

If dad passes on, do I get the entire house, or does 1/2 go back into the estate? I don't have a great relationship with one of my sisters, and she will go after everything.

Thanks.
