Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Florida

Re: Transfer name on property

You fail to indicate whether there were wills.

Estate proceedings will be necessary.

Re: Transfer name on property

Assuming that your mother is deceased as well, and if you are the rightful heir or beneficiary and your parents' respective estates have already been through the appropriate probate administration, you can just take the deed to the local recording office and have it recorded. There is normally a nominal recording fee.

If the estates have not been probated, you need to open an adminsitration. You can petition to be appointed as personal representative and go from there.

Good luck.

Re: Transfer name on property

I think you need to speak with an attorney. This is very probably a simple matter although your question does not provide enough facts to determine that with certainty. Still, in that you want to sell this property some legal action is needed because at the moment it does not appear you have the legal right to sell the property. Send me an e-mail if you would like to discuss this further.

Re: Transfer name on property

There is not enough info to fully answer your question. Is your mother still alive? How is the property titled? Are there other heirs? Answers to these questions will determine whether the property needs to go through probate or not.

Feel free to contact me via email or phone at (407) 353-4728 to discuss further.
