Transfer land from parents to children

[Jorge Zingg]

Hi,

I'm new in this Forum and just signed in because I have an issue which I'm not being able to solve yet:

There is a small piece of land my father bouth about 40 years ago in FL. From the tax page of that county, the value is quite low, around USD 5K. We would like to transfer the ownership from my father to his heirs, my sister and I, but none of us is an american citizen and we all live abroad, father and sister in Colombia and myself in Switzerland.

So the questions are: 

How do I do that, what type of professional should I contact? A realtor, a real estate attorney, a friend in Florida (have some there...) ?

I assume it is easier to do while father is still among us, right?

Any info or help is truly appreciated!
