Be sure the wording used does not eliminate your homestead exemption, either now or when you become a full time resident .

Your estate and trust documents are probably ok in FL but you may want to redo all documents if you are a FL resident.

Your executor has to reside in FL or be a blood relative. Thus your spouses brother living in Ohio could not qualify as an executor for your estate. Ok for spouces estate.

If the trust is to avoid probate you might want to review if you want to just name beneficiaries on your financial accounts and skip the trust. However the home could be a problem and the trust maybe the way to go for the home.
