Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Florida

My husband invested in a rental condo with his real estate broker friend under joint rights of survivorship. He died, and now his estate is in probate. As his wife, do I now own half of this condo with half of its income and mortgage responsibility? If so, can I force her to sell it and derive half the net?

Depending upon the circumstances, you might have spousal rights. You need to consult with an attorney because it is far to complex to explain in this context.

Mr. Kaplan is correct. Get an attorney ASAP before you have nothing left to receive from this.
