Re: death and a home
Florida Law - The Answer is NO. Since the house also had her brother's name on it then the house automatically belongs to him. Regardless of what her will may say, the house belongs to her brother. If an asset, any asset such as an account, house, car etc. has a joint owner on that asset then once one owner passes away it automatically belongs to the surviving owner. Therefore, read the deed to the house carefully, and if it states your grandmothers name on it as joint owner with her brother then the house belongs to him, SOLELY and no one can take it away from him. Good Luck!
