Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Florida

tenants by the entirety

I bought my house on 7/06 with my then girlfriend as tenants in common.

On 3/07 we married and I would like to change the title of my house to tenants by the entirety.

My question is do I need an attorney to change the tile from common to entirety? If not, what papers do I file in court?

The two of you must properly execute a properly prepared warranty deed to the two of you as husband and wife. That would then be recorded with the recording office in your county.
