It’s The Law!

Did You Know That, In

Florida …

By Adam S. Gumson, Esq.
A deed cannot waive
the homestead rights of

specific language in which
the spouse consents to
waiving his/her rights.
In a probate
administration, if a
fiduciary bond is not
waived by the decedent’s
will, or the court, the
personal representative will be required to obtain a bond
and file it with the court. A petition can be filed by any
interested person requesting that the bond be waived.
A power of attorney becomes effective immediately
upon execution. Florida does not permit a signatory
to state a future date for effectiveness. This powerful
document gives the named attorney-in-fact the ability
to perform any of the powers detailed in the document
immediately.
Life insurance proceeds are payable to the named
beneficiary and are exempt from creditor claims of an
estate unless the policy provides otherwise.
When a limited liability company merger becomes
effective, the surviving entity continues, but all other
companies merged into it cease to exist.
