Married in Florida? The way your assets are titled could matter more than you think. Tenancy by the entirety is a form of ownership available to married couples that can provide important legal benefits for certain jointly owned assets. In many circumstances, when one spouse dies, property held this way passes automatically to the surviving spouse, rather than going through probate. But here’s the important part: Not every asset you own jointly with your spouse is necessarily held as a tenancy by the entirety. Your deed, account registration, and other ownership documents can make a big difference in how an asset is handled. A quick review of how your assets are titled could uncover an important piece of your estate plan that you didn’t realize was there - or wasn’t there. www.rhglegal.com
