EstateTransfer on death deeds in Florida
Short answerNo. Florida has no statute authorizing transfer on death deeds for real estate. Florida’s transfer-on-death law covers securities registrations (Fla. Stat. ch. 711), not land. Homeowners often use other tools, such as a revocable trust; homestead property also has special restrictions on how it can pass at death.
