Legal Question
In Florida, if a husband dies will a will naming his children to be awarded a home tha is in his name, does his wife have any claim to it ?
Legal Answer
How the property passes will depend upon how it is held and whether you have waived homestead rights. If the property is held as a tenancy by the entirety, then it passes to you, the spouse, regardless of what the will states.
