Q: I was given a parcel of land by my Mother before she passed. Now come to find out was never put in my name.
It is not in trust or estate, but after a search I found it still titled to my Dad at their old address. The PR of Estate told me if I want it Its mine, but don't know how to get it changed over to me.
My folks lived in South Carolina and I live in Florida. The property is in Florida, Volusia County
A: You will need to open a Florida probate to transfer the property. Contact a Florida probate attorney for assistance.
A:
You will likely need to conduct a Florida probate on this parcel of land. It would likely qualify for a summary administration. you need to consult with a probate attorney in the area where the property is located to determine for certain.
Good luck,
