Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Florida

Inheritance

Father left 3 children all his property and we are the executors and trustees. We want to know what we need to do and have to change title of property in Florida from our parents names (mother passed on 10 years ago) into the 3 children's names? Are forms available online? Just whatever information you can give us would be greatly appreciated. Regards, Mary

Re: Inheritance

The will must be probated. The Florida personal representative can then deed over the property to the new owners. Good luck.

Re: Inheritance

I would have to know how the home was titled (who the deed shows as the owners) -- jointly held by parents?, solely owned by one of them?, deeded into the trust? Also need to know if either or both parents had a will, and to whom the will(s)left their property. Are there forms available? Not really, certainly not until a COMPETENT attorney has fiqured out the status of the title to the property. If titled in the trust, it may only require preparation, execution, and recording a deed.
