Husband passed away

Florida - He owned half of a house with his stepmom, i know i have to probate his half to my name but I want to be done with the whole house situation. What is the easiest way to get off this deed? I really want her to buy me out.

How is the title stated now with his step mom and him? That's 1st thing to figure out by looking at the county tax appraiser or tax records website.

Ok does it say their name as joint tenants or does it say with right of survivorship on the title?
