p.s. Yes, I could just go see a lawyer- but this is a question/answer forum and if a lawyer answers my question I'll be ahead.
I’m no lawyer, but it just takes common sense to know that you should check with a Florida attorney if you’re going to live in Florida. The law is a bit different here than other states.

I used Trotter and Soulsby. They’re one of the only Board Certified attorneys for elder law.
They offered two free seminars on this subject earlier this year and may be doing it again soon since the response was so good.
