Leaving Property in a Will in Florida If you have several heirs, you can designate them all as beneficiaries of the home in your will. After your death, they will each inherit an equal interest in the home, unless stated otherwise in the will.
To transfer ownership legally, the property must still go through the probate process. This process verifies the homestead status and ensures all heirs receive their rightful share. The probate court will issue a court order to transfer the property to the heirs.
How can I see or obtain a copy of a will? At this time, the Florida Supreme Court does not allow public internet access for viewing imaged court documents. Images of probate court documents are available for viewing at any of the Clerk's locations on the public view terminals.

Formal administration is required for any estate with non-exempt assets valued at over $75,000 when a decedent died less than two years ago. Formal administration is also required any time that a personal representative is needed to settle the affairs of the decedent.
A Florida transfer on death deed, also known as a lady bird deed, is a legal document that automatically transfers real property to a beneficiary when the owner dies. With a transfer on death deed, you don't have to go through probate.
An executor cannot sign an unsigned will on behalf of the testator. They cannot manage the estate before being appointed by the court, and they cannot change any provisions within the will or trust. If an executor does any of these things or breaches their fiduciary duty, a legal case could be brought against them.
You'll need to file the necessary documents with the local probate court where the decedent resided in Florida. Once approved by a judge, they issue Letters of Administration certifying your role as estate administrator to third parties, including banks.
