Florida Homestead Protections and Divorce
Any time a married person purchases real property in the state of Florida his or her spouse will automatically have an interest in the property because of the homestead protections provided in the Florida Constitution. The homestead rights were included in the constitution as a way to promote Florida families and attach automatically by operation of law and cannot be negotiated or contracted away.
This is especially important to couples who are in the process of divorce and are contemplating the purchase of new homes. There are strategies that can and should be employed to protect your purchase and facilitate your independence. Be sure to ask your family and or real estate attorney for assistance otherwise you may inadvertently cloud title to your property.
