Thank you in advance!
See posts 7 and 8.

I don't know about New York, but, in Florida, a title company can prepare a "lady bird" deed for about $200, where you can designate a beneficiary who will automatically become the property owner when you die. I would ask an attorney and/or a title company to explain exactly how it works. Some states allow a "transfer on death" deed, but Florida doesn't.
