Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Florida

Have your brother sign a quitclaim deed to the property.

A little more information is needed.

1) If the houses are still in your father's name, then a probate may be needed. If one of them is your father's homestead, an extra procedure is required. Since he has passed away over 2 years ago, the procedure is much easier;

2) If the houses are already in you and your brother's name, then a quit claim deed between the two of you would work. This would be pretty easy to do if both of you respond quickly.

If I can be of further help, please let me know.

You will need to probate your father's estate to get title in your name. If it's already been probated and is jointly owned by you and your brother, then your brother can execute a deed to transfer his interest to you. Contact an attorney for assistance and advice.
