No, FL law requires probate to transfer title to spouse and other beneficiaries. Discuss

with attorney regarding legal procedure and options. Value of property, other estate

assets, expenses, debts, and family relationships must be considered if laws of

intestacy determine distribution. Will and trusts are suggested to avoid such

problems.

Also, as to who gets it and how, it depends upon if there were children who may get an interest as well.
