You bought a property before you were married, so your marital status on the deed to the property is “single.” Later, you get married and you do not add your spouse to the title of the property. What happens to the property when you die?
In Florida, if your spouse was never added to title, then your spouse would not automatically inherit the property at your death. The property would very likely need to go through probate, and the probate court would determine who inherits the property.
Once in probate court, if the property was homestead, then the probate court would likely determine that your spouse inherits the property. If the property was not your homestead, then the property would pass in accordance with your will, or if there was no will, then by intestate succession, which is the process of passing property to heirs if you died without a will. Your spouse would be first in line in intestate succession, but your spouse may not inherit the entire property if you have children from a prior marriage. In Florida intestate succession, a spouse must share 50% of the deceased’s estate with children of the deceased that are from a prior marriage.
If you want your spouse to automatically inherit your home when you die without the need for probate, then you should consider adding your spouse to the title of your home with the marital status of “a married couple” or “husband and wife.” By adding your spouse to title and including your marital status, the property would automatically vest in you and your spouse as tenants by the entirety. What this means is that when you die, your spouse automatically inherits the property.
