Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Florida

My brother died intestate with very little in assets which are much less than his debt. Is there any way that I could be held responsible for his debit if I did not guarantee any of it?

He was not married, no children, and rented a home with his partner for 15 years. He has a house full of "stuff", but nothing of real value, and 2 old cars that are paid off.

Do I need letters of administration to transfer the car titles into his partner's name?

you are not responsible for anything as long as you did not sign anything to the contrary. As to the cars, a death certificate should survice if you are the only heir.
