When land is inherited without a will, Florida’s intestacy laws determine ownership.
What Happens Without a Will?
A county probate court decides:
- Who inherits
- What percentage each heir owns
- Who has authority to act
This is determined in the probate process.
Why This Creates Title Issues
Without a will:
- Ownership may be divided unexpectedly
- Heirs may not even know they inherited
- Title remains unclear until probate is complete
This is one of the most common causes of heirs property complications.
Can It Be Sold?
Yes, but ownership must first be legally clarified.
Skipping that step usually leads to stalled sales.
