Please talk with an attorney. Many things to consider. For example. Can he have another woman live with him etc.

What would happen if the house was totally destroyed by a sinkhole, lightning, fire, flood, etc.? Who would get the insurance money to rebuild or buy a new house? Could your husband be left homeless?

Transfer on Death, Or TOD, it can then be transferred upon the death after U both have passed without taxes.

In Florida you should have a trust.

Set up a Trust and put the house in the Trust. This is the best way to do it there then it doesn’t go through probate.

I thought if your Married your spouse is 50% owner is this not true in
Florida.

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.

Depends on attorney/trustee. They can approve /disapprove Expenses submitted to the trust.

Don’t listen to any advice here accept CALL ANDREW CURTIS and get a new trust made that is Florida legal. A lawyer will usually try to talk you out of a trust because once they make make one for you, you may not need them again. A will is so complicated compared to a trust and makes probate a serious time consumer especially where money is concerned. Dealt with two deaths in last five years. Probate on the will of one was a lawyer and court drawn out affair. The other had a will and trust (in NH) and that the probate was easy because all the dealings and distribution was through the trust. Get to Andrew! The trusts are not expensive.

Just put it in a trust with specifications. Any legit lawyer can set it up for you. Very simple

Be aware that a will does not have to be filed. If the participants agree that there is no need to file, they just don't file it.

Be careful .... be sure to avoid saddling your daughter with the expenses of maintaining or improving the house at the will of your second husband ... and be sure to include her in the discussion.

Also ... getting a Florida attorney will give you the chance to have further discussions on any unknown or unanticipated issues.
