Amended by Laws 2001, c. 2001-226, § 14, eff. Jan. 1, 2002
Florida Staff Analysis, S.B. 988, 1/18/2012
The bill revises the effective date of the 2011 amendments to s. 732.102, F.S., so that the changes to that section apply only to the estates of decedents dying on or after October 1, 2011. Section 732.102, F.S., was amended in 2011 to revise the share a decedent's spouse receives as part of an intestate estate under certain circumstances.
Effective July 1, 2012, and applicable to estates of persons dying on or after July 1, 2012, the bill:
• amends the definition of “protected homestead” in s. 733.201, F.S., to clarify that real property owned in joint tenancy with right of survivorship is not protected homestead.
• amends s. 732.401(2)(c), F.S., to revise the time under which an attorney in fact or guardian for an incapacitated spouse must file a petition for authority to make an election to take an undivided one-half interest as tenant in common in the decedent's homestead.
• creates s. 732.1081, F.S., to amend the probate code to bar inheritance through intestate succession by a parent from a child in cases when the natural or adoptive parent's parental rights were terminated pursuant to ch. 39, F.S., prior to the death of the child. In such cases, the natural or adoptive parent must be treated as if the parent predeceased the child.
This bill creates section 732.1081, Florida Statutes, and one undesignated section of law.
This bill amends sections 731.201, 732.401, Florida Statutes.
