Navigating a title issue can be a bit tricky, but it's great that you're seeking advice. Here are a few steps you might consider taking to safeguard yourselves in this situation:
  1. Delay the Closing: If there are title complications, it might be wise to delay the closing until the estate is sorted out correctly. Rushing through a purchase with title uncertainties can lead to future headaches.
  2. Seek Legal Advice: Consult with a real estate attorney who is well-versed in Florida property laws. They can provide guidance on how to proceed, ensure your interests are protected, and help facilitate the correct setup of the estate.
  3. Title Insurance: If you haven't already, having title insurance in place can be a crucial safety net. Title insurance policies are designed to protect the buyer and lender against defects in the title, including those that might arise during the estate resolution.

Please read the thread before posting to a month old thread. This OP has already stated they are getting assistance from a local attorney.
