My husband died in Maine in August, however he was a resident of Florida. What forms, if ant , must be filed regarding his death.
Optional Information: State/Country relating to question: Florida Already Tried: County Tax offices
It depends on whether he had any assets in his name only, the value, and where they are.
If you could be more specific as to what property there is, whether it was in his name only or his and someone else's name (and how -- joint tenants, tenants in common, etc.), what the value is, and where this property is (Florida or Maine or somewhere else).
All property and assets are jointly held with me as co-owner joint tenant wros .Property in Maine-,summer cottage. Property ivn Florida, condo ,stock, Iras worth about 300,000.

Then you just need to inform the investment company of the death so the stock and IRA can be transferred to you (you generally do a spousal rollover for the IRA but ask specific advice of your investment advisor.
with the real property, the whole is now yours, but you do need to file an affidavit with the county clerk/recorder of deeds in each county where real property is located. That will place record title in your name only. You should have an attorney that is local to each area assist you with preparing and recording the proper affidavit.
