FAQ
Joint tenancy should be used with extreme caution. It can subject a co- owner to unnecessary taxes and liabili- ty for the other co-owner's debts. It can also deprive heirs of bequeathed prop- erty and, in California, leave the joint tenant without right of survivorship.
Property owned as tenants in common must undergo probate to be transferred. Your share is undivided and doesn't get automatically transferred upon your death.
In Florida, a surviving spouse has the rights to the deceased's spouse's property regardless of whether or not there is a valid will for the deceased saying so.
How can I transfer a property deed from a deceased relative in Florida? If the controlling deed does not contain life estate language, then the only way to transfer property without a will is by either a summary administration or by a formal probate administration based on Florida's intestacy law.
Ing to Gallenstein v. U.S., 975 F. 2d 286 (6th Cir. 1992), all or a proportionate share of the jointly held property is included in the gross estate of the first spouse to die, and the property then passes by operation of law to the surviving spouse, who receives a full or proportionate step-up in basis.
Florida law gives a surviving spouse at minimum a life estate in the homestead property previously titled solely in the name of the deceased spouse.
If you own property jointly with someone else, and this ownership includes the "right of survivorship," then the surviving owner automatically owns the property when the other owner dies.
Florida law allows individuals to force the sale of a jointly owned property through a partition action. Regardless of their percentage ownership interest, any co-owner has the right to initiate this legal process to seek the sale and division of the property's proceeds.
A joint tenancy in Florida has all the features of the tenancy in common except that all the joint tenants must have the same equal percentage of interest in the real property. The joint tenancy also does not avoid Florida probate.
