Unfortunately, according to what you are saying, yes. Since both have passed away over 2 years ago, the procedure should be a bit easier and faster, but it needs to be done in the Florida county your mother resided in. If your mother was not a Florida resident, then it would be in the county where the property is located.
At minimum it would be a Summary Administration, but if it was their homestead, then a Petition for Homestead Status is also needed. You will need an attorney to do this.
If I can be of help, let me know. 954-752-1732.
