When it comes to the Florida home, putting another owner on the title as a joint tenant with rights of survivorship is very risky because you lose control by losing the ability to sell or mortgage the property yourself, alone. Also, whenever you add another person to an asset as an owner, that other person's debts and liabilities can attach to you asset.
If the only asset without a beneficiary designation is the Florida home, the estate can utilize a summary probate administration. A lawyer to accomplish this would be highly recommended.
