I hope this is in the right section as it pertains to title and this mentions registration which is related, I think.
What I am trying to accomplish is twofold:
1. Make my vehicles easily transferable to my wife if something happens to me.
2. Protect my vehicles as assets/personal property with a "tenancy by entireties." I've seen arguments pro and con re: T.B.E. in Florida, mostly based on the idea that the title isn't durable, a requirement of tbe, I understand. My non-lawyer reading of the statutes makes the passage of title automatic on death, which I believe to be the definition of "durable."
We're talking about an automobile, motorcycle and boat.
The basic question is: should the vehicles (standard FL title document, currently in my name alone) be titled "myself AND my wife" or, "myself OR my wife." My personal opinion is "AND" but I'm not a lawyer.
Also, would the lack of concurrency of titling in ownership have an effect negating the TBE protection. Could one say that I am just adding my wife to the title or would a re-titling, even though I already own the vehicle, constitute a "new start?"
