thank you all.
This situation is relatively common in Florida. I suggest you get a lawyer experienced in trusts and estates to help you. What you describe is straightforward for an experienced attorney and I believe will be done by a lawyer through a trust.

If not done properly and you pass before your husband, litigation between your daughter and husband might result and what you intend may not turn out even if you believe otherwise. Fights between families in multiple marriages after passing are also common in Florida.
