How to handle creditor claims in Florida probate:
✅ Confirm it’s filed with the court
✅ Check the amount + basis
✅ Object if it looks wrong

Fast timelines matter—miss them and claims stick.

In Florida, homestead property, or one's primary residence, is subject to specific restrictions under state law, particularly regarding inheritance rights within a marriage. When married, individuals cannot leave their homestead property to anyone other than their spouse unless the spouse explicitly waives this right in writing. This situation can become complicated, especially in second marriages where each spouse has children from previous relationships. In such cases, the children may be surprised to find out that the property does not pass to them as expected. To navigate these complexities, individuals in second marriages or those with pre-marital homes should consult with an estate planning attorney. Homestead laws in Florida are intricate, and it's crucial to seek proper advice to understand what actions are permissible and what limitations exist.
