If a descendant is married at the time of death, who automatically receives title to property held as tenants by the entirety?

In Florida, property held as tenants by the entirety is a form of co-ownership that is specifically available to married couples. When one spouse dies, the surviving spouse automatically inherits the full interest in the property. This legal principle is rooted in the idea that the property is jointly owned, and upon the death of one spouse, the surviving spouse retains complete ownership without the need for probate or any transfer process.

The automatic transfer of ownership serves to protect the interests of the surviving spouse and ensures that they can continue to reside in the home without disruption or the need for legal proceedings. This is in contrast to other forms of property ownership, where different rules regarding inheritance may apply.

The other options do not apply in this scenario because the deceased's children, the estate executor, and state authorities would not receive title to the property upon the death of a spouse if the property is held as tenants by the entirety. Instead, the law clearly designates the surviving spouse as the immediate beneficiary.
