my dad states in his trust that his home in florida and its contents shall be mine after he passes. his attorney has had a quit claim deed drawn up, witnessed and notarized when my dad signed it. he is not selling it to me, so is it considered a gift? what are my next steps? the home is paid for. i know i need to file the deed with the county clerks office, but really don't understand the form. the form is a dr-219. the title is: florida dept of revenue / return for transfers of interest in real property. line 5 asks for a sale transfer price. line 8 asks if there are any unusual circumstances or conditions for the sale/transfer and i was going to check: related to seller by blood or marriage. line 11asks if personal property is included in the sale/transfer and to put in a dollar figure. how can i estimate a value for furniture, appliances etc when they are not brand new? please help me to understand. i have never bought or owned a home and all this terminology is foreign to me. many thanks

Hello Debby,
I think it will be easier for you to understand if you take the help of a lawyer.
