Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Florida

My mother and father purchased a piece of land together. They divorced and it states in the divorce documents that my father gets the land. My mother remarried and passed away but failed to get her name off the title before her death. What does my father have to do to get it in his name? Florida.

You'll likely need to get a lawyer involved. You need to find out if the Estate for your late mother is open. If it is, then who is acting on behalf of it? Once you know that question you might see if they would amicably sign a quit claim deed over to your dad placing the property in his name only in accordance with the previous Order. If not, then you'll likely need to file a action to quiet title. Hope this helps.
