Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Florida

It depends on its value and whether it is real property (such as a residence or business) or personal property (such as household items or vehicles). It also depends on how long the person has been dead.

In addition to Ms. Grosse's answer:

It also depends on how the property is titled on the deed that you received for the property:

"to X and Y" (where X and Y are not married) - Yes, you will have to go to probate because you own the property as tenants in common and the ownership interest of the person died must go to probate.

"to X and Y as joint tenants with rights of survivorship" - No probate.

"to X and Y, husband and wife" - No probate.
