- The Florida homestead protects a primary residence from most creditors, with key exceptions for mortgages, property taxes, and construction liens.
- The homestead tax exemption up to $50,000 has a tiered structure, and the second $25,000 does not apply to school district taxes.
- Constitutional restrictions on devise prevent a homestead owner from willing the property away from a surviving spouse or minor child.
- Condominium ownership is a fee simple interest in a unit (real property), while cooperative ownership is shares of stock in a corporation (personal property) with a proprietary lease.
- Buyers of new timeshares have a non-waivable 10-day right of rescission, and condo buyers must receive specific disclosure documents before a resale.
