Selling a property that belonged to your father without formal registration depends entirely on how title was held and whether the estate has been properly handled under Florida law. In most cases, the property must first pass through probate or a recorded legal process before a clear, marketable title can be conveyed to a buyer. Masaryktown is a small community in Hernando County, and properties here sometimes carry older titles, informal conveyances, or heir complications that require a real estate attorney to untangle before listing. Florida requires that all sellers on a deed sign at closing, which means unresolved ownership creates a hard stop in any transaction. The right starting point is a title search combined with a consultation with a Florida probate or real estate attorney. Once the chain of title is clean, the sale process moves forward like any other transaction. Kevin Neely & Kaitlynd Robbins | K2 Sells, Keller Williams Elite Partners

Unless you have the legal authority to act in the behalf of your father -- the short answer is no. Is your Father deceased? Have you inherited the property? You may want to consult and attorney to get legal advice on how to proceed.

Again, with the little information provided - probably not. Only a person who has legal right to sell a property, can sell it. Whether that is your own legally owned property (not owned with someone else), or you have power of attorney (in Florida, the property address must be noted within a POA), once a person is deceased the POA ceases to exist. Lastly, a court has given legal right to sell a property (usually through the probate process). If you are still unsure, them consulting an attorney within the state the property is located is the best route to go. I hope this helps.
