Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Florida
My mother wants to add myself and brother to her deed on our family home. She would like to complete all nessecary paperwork and place it in a saftey deposit box to be filed after her death. Is there a time limit on notorized deed changes or a law stating must be completed prior to her demise?

I'm not sure what you mean. If she signs the deed today and dies tomorrow, is that your issue? It can be contested by any interested party that she did not have the capasity to sign anything at the time she executed the deed. All transfers and legal documents purporting to transfer property must be properly executed prior to her demise.
I truly think that I must not understand your question.
There are issues here that your mom needs to think about. The deed would need to be recorded prior to her death. Does your mom know that she could just do a will? Doesn't she have other assets titled in her name.
