Creating a revocable trust and putting your assets into it will solve your problem and save your heir(s) the grief of dealing with FL probate, which can take 2 years or more before your estate is settled. You can make your daughter a co-trustee with you during your life and the sustaining trustee upon your death. You can stipulate in the trust that your husband has use of your assets, but not control over them, upon your death leaving the administration of your estate in the hands of your daughter. You should get advice and assistance from a qualified law firm specializing in Elder Law Planning.
