Tenancy by the entirety refers to a form of shared property ownership that is usually reserved only for married couples. A tenancy by the entirety permits spouses to jointly own property as a single legal entity. This means that each spouse has an equal and undivided interest in the property.
Typically, when married couples are listed under the real estate title as “husband and wife” a tenancy by the entireties is presumed. At the death of one spouse, the real estate interest passes automatically to the surviving spouse by operation of law similarly to the joint tenancy with right of survivorship.

Every property in Florida requires a deed, a legal document that determines who owns the property's title. For married couples, it's common for both names to be on the title. However, in some cases, one spouse may not have their name on the deed.
Most often, a copy of the deceased spouse's death certificate, the notarized death affidavit, and a legal description of the property are required. Once these steps are complete, your deceased spouse will have been removed and you will be the sole owner on the deed.
