Filling out the name(s) of the trustee(s) will require a person to use the same name outlined in the trust document. The Office of the Property Appraiser reviews all ownership changes, properly recorded in the Clerk of Courts Recorder's Office.To qualify for a Homestead Exemption, you must own the property and it must be your permanent residence to the exclusion of all others as of January 1st. Like I mentioned before, there is no specific form for a waiver of spousal rights in Florida. A spouse can waive all rights all just an individual right. In Florida, assets that are held in a living trust may pass to beneficiaries without probate court proceedings. Instead create a revocable trust in your name and put the property in the trust - this can be done without impacting your homestead. With the enactment of new Section 732.7025, Florida Statutes, a deed can include language which waives the spousal homestead restrictions.
