Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Florida
My spouse passed away and we have a home in both our names. The will says that I get all of his assets. How do I take off his name and keep my name on the deed to be the owner?

If the house has both your names on it, the Will doesn't matter. All you have to do is record his death certificate, a Non Tax Affidavit and a Continuous Marriage Affidavit. A new deed is not issued. (Don't forget you also qualify for the widows/widowers exemption).
You may want an attorney to review over the matter to make sure this will work, and that it is done the right way the first time.
