Life has never looked better at...

Spectacular Wedding… At The Barn he Cross Creek Ranch has a brand new barn. A deadline was set, but workers began to wonder if the barn would be finished in time for the planned first event. Driving down a one lane dirt road surrounded by trees, you suddenly come to a well landscaped, beautiful grassy area where the barn—with beautiful chandeliers—is located. The builders rushed to finish it for the wedding of Ben and Kristan Maiden. There are dozens of vehicles parked and friends already gathered for the first wedding in the new barn. On the ‘porch’ of the barn is a rustic bar set up with your choice of drinks. Featured was the Watermelon Crawl punch. We await the call for the wedding party and when they let us know, we will seat ourselves in the chairs set up before a rustic curtained arch outside, just west of the barn. Once the reception food has arrived and placed inside the barn, all was ready. The minister has arrived and the guests go to the area of the wedding arch and are seated. We are waiting patiently for the wedding party when we see a herd of well-groomed cattle (20 cows), arriving at the other side of the fence behind the arch. It was amazing how well planned everything was. There were no cows to be seen when we first arrived. Once the herd gathered they were there —quietly attentive throughout the ceremony. What a cheerful addition. The wedding party was well dressed and no one forgot to wear their boots. In addition to the bridal attendants and groomsmen, Ben’s son, Lex, and Kristan’s daughter, Stacey, were in the wedding. All so lovely. After the wedding ceremony, we got our first look at the decorated interior of the barn. That is the picture you see in this article. As day turned to evening, we looked toward the ‘creek’ and the last blue

You Name It …by Kitty Maiden

moon of this decade appeared behind the trees and worked its way up over the water. That captured everyone’s attention and many pictures were taken, some with the appearance of a hand holding the moon. The occasion of the Maiden wedding became a full evening of fun and games for some and line dancing for others. I was amazed when I realized I hardly knew anyone at the wedding but our immediate family. I did learn that the man wearing the cowboy hat was Kristan’s dad, who walked her down the aisle. Ben’s dad (my son, Gary) looked great in his new clothes for the wedding. He is enjoying his retirement. All went as planned, plus much more. God bless the happy couple, their family, and friends.

May 31, 2019—Seniors Today—Page 5 Homestead At Death Of Married Person he word “Homestead” has a number of meanings in Florida. The most well-known concept involves a property tax reduction. Another unique feature of homestead is the constitutional provision protecting homestead for spouses of a living homeowner. This law prohibits an owner of homestead property from transferring or mortgaging homestead property without joinder by the other spouse who is not an owner. Another benefit of homestead in Florida is protection from general creditors. The most complicated use of the word involves restrictions and protections that arise when a married homeowner dies and the surviving spouse is not a coowner of the homestead. The Florida Constitution provides that if a decedent validly devises homestead property, or if the law passes homestead property by operation of law, to heirs at law (which means family members of any level), the property passes directly to those beneficiaries free of the claims of creditors of the deceased owner. In that regard, the Florida constitution and statutes also provides that if a decedent leaves a spouse or minor child, the decedent cannot leave the home to anybody by will or trust. If there is no minor child, the decedent can leave

Elder Law …by Michael A. Pyle

the property to the surviving spouse, but if he or she has not done so, the property passes automatically to the spouse for life, and to the decedent’s children after the spouse dies. Quite some time ago, the Florida legislature changed this last provision in the law. The legislators determined that sometimes the surviving spouse and children want to sell the home, or divide the home, and the calculation of life estate value was complicated and confusing. Thus, if a surviving spouse is entitled to receive a life estate as described above, the spouse can now elect to received a half interest instead, which results in the decedent’s children sharing the other half interest. If you need assistance with devising homestead property, please contact our office. Attorney Michael A.

Antiques Mermaid Lawn Sprinkler by Terry and Kim Kovel awn sprinklers could not be used before the first water distribution systems were invented in the 1870s. The new ways to provide water through underground pipes were used by public buildings, then private water tanks. Farms, public landscapes, and public parks were the next to install the systems. So by the 1880s, there was a way to use a sprinkler. At first, a plain metal piece with holes was screwed on a hose. Water sprinkled out of the holes. By the 1890s, some clever companies started making decorative figural iron sprinklers to be used in a private yard. There were sprinklers shaped like monkeys, frogs, ducks, alligators, turtles, a two-faced man, and even a mermaid. At a recent auction, a two-sided mermaid sprinkler sold for $2,040. Some experts say only about 18 different characters were used as iron sprinkler figures, although at least six companies made them. Most unusual probably is the 30-inch high cowboy who spins a lasso flinging water on the grass. It is thought that less than 100 were made. If iron sprinklers are too pricey to collect, look for the colorful Bakelite examples that are not figural made the 1940s and ’50s. They often are found at garage sales.

Q: What kind of dishes would my ancestors have used? Pewter? Wood? Porcelain? A: Dishes used for dinner were made of wood before the 16th century. Then thick ceramics like stoneware was used. It was easier to clean. The Chinese were making thin porcelain dishes from the 1st century to the 21st century, and thick pewter plates and pottery dishes were popular in the United States by the 1700s. It also was possible for the rich to order Chinese export porcelain that was delivered by ship in about a year. By the 19th century, all these wares were being made in Europe, China, and the United States. In 1945, plastic dishes were sold in a few department stores, although they had been tested by the armed forces since 1940. By 1948 plastic dishes were often considered the best dishes and were used for company. At least 20 companies were making plastic dinnerware. Best were the sets made of Beetle or Melamine plastic by companies like Brookpark or Boontonware. Cheap copies were made, popularity went down, and by the 1960s, plastic dishes were suitable for picnics—not major entertaining. For more collecting news, tips, and resources, visit www.Kovels.com

Ft. Myers & Edison by George Goldtrap III, George and Peggy’s Son. grew up in Ft. Myers, Florida. These were my carefree kid days. Elementary school. Middle school. High school. It was the end of the Sixties and the rise of the Seventies—social turbulence and political tragedy. I was blissfully ignorant of the adult world. Recently, I returned to Ft. Myers for a couple months. I had been wanting to go back and see my old neighborhood, my old high school, and some of the other places that fascinated me as a kid. One of the places that had always been a great memory over the years was the Thomas Edison Home and Museum. I was anxious to tour those grounds again. Now that I was an adult I was sure I would get even more out of visiting the historic site of Edison's home and laboratory. I recalled how even as a kid I was so blown away by the banyan trees and Royal Palms and all the exotic plants. I remember touring his home and being so intrigued by the swimming pool he had built on the grounds made from concrete he invented. He was such a towering figure in our National story and in the story of Ft. Myers. I have always enjoyed history and Edison's life story is a fascinating study. Mr. Edison went to Ft. Myers in 1885 and was so taken with the beauty of the area he very quickly purchased land and built a house, Seminole Lodge, on the great Caloosahatchee River. Soon after, he began, in earnest, to develop a synthetic rubber. At this time he had already invented the kinetoscope, invented a better microphone for telephones, and invented the incandescent light bulb. He did finally achieve successful development of synthetic rubber from the Goldenrod plant. Edison was ultimately granted 1,093 patents over his lifetime! The grounds of the Museum are spectacular. One of the most eye-catching sights when you arrive are the banyan trees. Banyans are a kind of fig tree and many species are represented at the Edison Home. Each species of banyan has a unique species of wasp that pollinates the tree. The banyan tree that grows in front of the museum entrance was given to Edison by Harvey Firestone in 1925. At that time it was 4 feet tall. Now the tree is over 390 feet in circumference! When I visited the museum as a child I climbed all over that tree. Banyans are great fun to climb. Now, however, it is forbidden. There are guided tours of the grounds available or you can do as we did and purchase a self guided tour package. A handheld device with a number pad is supplied. As you get to marked spots you push the corresponding number and hold the device to your ear or near your face like a phone to listen to a recording that describes what you are viewing. We found this way of touring the site allowed us to spend as much time at each point of interest as we wanted. Shawni and I like to read every plague and citation and see in our imagination what it might have been like when Edison walked these grounds himself.

Happy Talk …by George & Peggy Goldtrap Edison's front and back yard are plant menageries! There are many beautiful flowering trees and bushes. If you're a bit of a photo bug like me you'll feel like a kid in a candy store with so many beautiful blooms to capture. There's a huge variety of palms and fruit trees you've never heard of. In many cases, these plants were subjects of experimentation for filaments or for the chemicals they might provide. Edison tried anything and everything to get the result he wanted. His Seminole Lodge is a beautiful home. It has been meticulously preserved. Nearly all of the furnishings you see are original! They were donated to the city by Mina Edison in 1947. In 1906 Edison purchased the house next to his and made it into a guest house. Over the years guests included Harvey Firestone, Henry Ford, even President-elect Herbert Hoover. Ford, Firestone, and Edison were great friends. In fact, Ford actually worked for Edison many years before at the Edison Illuminating Company. In 1896 they met face to face at a company banquet and the two spoke together at length about Ford's new gas engine. Edison famously pounded the table enthusiastically endorsing Ford's ideas. That encouragement from Edison stayed with Ford for his entire life. Their fondness is documented in the Museum. In 1914 Ford bought the property adjacent the Edison Estate and owned it until 1945 before selling it to a local family. It was gifted to Ft. Myers in the 1980s. As you look into the Edison Home you see the furnishings of a family of their time but look closely. There are no electrical outlets in the walls. It's kind of shocking at first. Early electric-light chandeliers hang in each room and each chandelier is unique. The home was built with numerous full length doors all around to take in the ample river breezes and they are what allow visitors today to look into the rooms. At the rivers edge Edison built a pier nearly 1,500 feet long stretching out into deep water over the river. At this time there was no railway in Southwest Florida so all construction materials came in by boat. The pier was equipped with a large dock for unloading supplies. This was later transformed into a recreational pavilion for the Edison family and guests. While visiting the museum you will learn of Edison's love of fishing and the family competition for the biggest catch. There are two mounted tarpon at the home. Be sure to learn about the 'fish' story behind that. Visiting the Edison Home and Museum took me back to the days of a wide-eyed kid learning about the connection between a National hero and his hometown. If you ever find yourself in the great city of Ft. Myers make sure you spend a day visiting the Edison Home and Museum.

For The Week Of June 2 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Untangling personal problems might take more time than the impatient Lamb expected. It's important to hang in there until all those situations are straightened out. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) You still need to work out last-minute snags in your dealings with a rival. Hold your ground despite a perceived lack of support. Things should turn around soon. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Best not to delay preparing for that upcoming family event. The sooner you get things started, the better chance you have of finding problems and making changes. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) The romantic Moon Child might be reluctant to see the reality behind that ideal situation. By midweek, the Crab emerges to help clear away the moonbeams. LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) Although the Big Cat might be receptive to more purr-suasion to get you to agree to a change, make sure you can distinguish the line between facts and flattery. VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) Your positive attitude in the workplace helps to get you noticed. Now go ahead and use some of that new self-confidence to help shore up a personal relationship.

LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) Although you might still have to work out some problems with a business partner, things go smoothly on the home front. An investment opportunity needs more study. SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) Don't be reluctant to act on your suspicion. The astute Scorpio could sense an underlying problem that isn't always obvious on the surface. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) A new opportunity presents some obstacles that need to be dealt with. Delaying action in hopes that the problems will go away could be counterproductive. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) A friend or family member's request might carry some hidden factors that could later create problems. Be sure you know all the facts. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) A setback in implementing a plan could turn out to be a blessing in disguise. Use the downtime to rework your original concepts. PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) You might not be consciously fishing for compliments, but admit it—won't you feel great when your efforts are noticed? So accept the praise gracefully.

Humane Society Update Taking Your Dog On A Road Trip by Barry KuKes oad trips account for 39 percent of vacations taken by Americans. Many people prefer the flexibility of driving anywhere they want, packing as much as will fit in their car, and being able to take their furry best friend with them. Your dog might need some training to be content in the car. Riding In The Car—Being in the car for a long period of time can be a challenge for any dog, particularly energetic dogs and big dogs that don’t have much space to move. It’s important that your dog is trained to sit calmly in the car and that you follow any safety laws, which will vary depending on your location. Florida doesn’t have any laws about restraining dogs in a car, but MiamiDade County law doesn’t allow pets to ride in the bed of a pickup truck and they must be in a secured carrier or safely restrained. Encourage your pooch to get in and out of the car and get them used to getting into a crate or being restrained, then give them a treat for doing so. Before going on your road trip get them used to short journeys, such as to visit local family and friends or to go somewhere new for a walk. This will get your dog used to the car, as well as teaching them that the car means they go somewhere exciting. Remember, dogs can experience motion sickness just like humans, so frequent stops can be vital to relieve their symptoms and give them a chance to hydrate if they have been sick. Rest Areas—You may be able to drive for hours and hours at a time without needing to stop to eat, go to the toilet, or just stretch your legs, but it’s unlikely your dog can. Stop somewhere safe every couple of hours and let your dog sniff around and do their business. Most rest areas off an interstate have designated pet areas but being directly off the interstate can make for a scary experience for a dog as semi-trucks drive by at 80 mph. In Daytona Beach, the Halifax Humane Society has a public rest area and dog park located directly off I-95. This rest area is open from 7 A.M. to 7 P.M., so travelers need to plan accordingly. The dog park is fenced in and has a small and large dog area, so your dog is free to run and take care of business. The facility has vending and public restrooms for humans. Dog-Friendly Hotels—Taking your dog on your road trip does require some additional pre-planning. There are lots of websites that make it easy to find and book dog-friendly hotels and B & Bs, or you could plan your route and phone ahead of time to see if places allow dogs. All Motel 6 motels allow dogs without a pet deposit and do not restrict the size or breed of the dog. If you have a large breed, more than one dog, or breeds that may be restricted

it’s best to check directly with the hotel beforehand to avoid being turned away after a long day of driving. It can be beneficial to get your dog checked over by a vet before going on a long trip and they can offer you specific advice for your dog and where you’re going to. Make sure there is enough room for your best friend. If you take your dog on a road trip with you, make sure you’re prepared to consider their needs first to keep them happy, healthy, and safe. Remember, Adopt, Don’t Shop. Barry KuKes is the Community Outreach Director for the Halifax Humane Society. You can reach Barry at 386.274.4703, ext. 320, or BarryK@halifaxhumanesociety.org

• On June 3, 1937, the duke of Windsor—formerly King Edward VIII– marries Wallis Warfield Simpson, the American divorcee for whom he abdicated the British throne in 1936. • On June 4, 1919, the 19th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, guaranteeing women the right to vote, is passed by Congress and sent to the states for ratification. On Aug. 18, 1920, Tennessee became the 36th state to ratify the amendment, giving it the two-thirds majority necessary to make it the law of the land. • On June 5, 1942, President Franklin D. Roosevelt issues a stern statement warning Japan to stop using poison gas in its war on China. Japan continued its use of these weapons until the end of the war, managing to keep its activities secret. • On June 6, 1971, The Ed Sullivan Show airs for the last time, 23 years after its 1948 premiere. Gladys Knight And The Pips were the musical guests.

• On June 7, 2002, Michael Skakel is convicted in the 1975 murder of his former neighbor, 15-year-old Martha Moxley, with a golf club. Skakel, a nephew of Ethel Kennedy, the wife of the late United States Senator Robert Kennedy, was sentenced to 20 years to life in prison. In 2018, the Connecticut Supreme Court vacated the conviction and ordered a new trial. • On June 8, 1966, the rival National Football League (NFL) and American Football League (AFL) announce that they will merge. The first Super Bowl between the two leagues took place at the end of the 1966 season. • On June 9, 1772, colonists, angered by the British Parliament's passing of the Townshend Acts restricting colonial trade, board and set ablaze the HMS Gaspee, an armed British customs schooner that had run aground. British officials found no one willing to identify those involved, and the inquiry closed without result.

ith her suitcases in hand Marci walked to the edge of the depot platform where she could stand and see the street in case Leray was parked at the side of the station. There was no Leray to be seen. Frustrated she sat her suitcases down with a loud flop. She had dropped the suitcases with such force the sound of them hitting the platform startled her. Not seeing anyone to pick her up, she left her baggage, walked over to the ticket office and stood at the window. “Excuse me sir, has anyone from the Dalton farm been here to pick me up,” Marci said raising her voice to make sure the man could hear. “No,” was his only reply. “I’m Marci Dalton. Someone was supposed to meet me here at 2 P.M.,” she said, as she leaned in the window to make sure the man could hear her. “No one has been here in the last hour,” The man said as he turned back to his telegraph machine. Marci felt like crying as she stood there staring at the man who had just turned his back on her. Frustrated she went back to where her luggage was sitting on the edge of the platform and sat on one of her suitcases. She could see the courthouse dome from her seat and could barely make out the clock. It lookeed like it said a few minutes after 2 o’clock As she sat there waiting she heard the clock as it struck three times. She had been waiting an hour. After she heard the clock strike five times she saw a pick-up truck as it came toward her on the street. From where she sat it was hard to tell exactly what type of truck, but as it grew closer she could see that it was not Leray driving. Marci continued to sit on the platform waiting. She could not stop the tears from starting to run down her cheeks. They began to dampen the collar of the new dress she had bought from her earnings. She gathered her suitcases together and decided she would at least start to walk toward town. She would take the chance that she would be able to catch a ride to the Dalton farm. Just as she stepped from the platform she saw another truck coming down the street toward the train depot. “Thank God,” she said out loud as she recognized Leray in the truck. Leray pulled the truck to the curb in front of where Marci was standing and stopped. “Howdy Misses,” Leray said as he jumped from the truck and ran to where Marci was standing. Marci grabbed Leray and gave him a hug. “I thought you were going to be here at 2 o’clock,” Marci said. “Mrs. Cora Mae said your train got here at 6 o’clock,” Leray said as he grabbed Marci’s suitcases and put them in the back of the truck.

Winding Roads …by Byron Spires

“No I have been here since 2,” Marci responded back. “Well, I’m sorry, I was told to be here at six to pick you up,” Leray said attempting to apologize. The drive to the Dalton farm was filled with questions from Leray about what Marci had been doing. Marci finally interrupted him and asked about Isaiah, Jr. “He’s fine, him and Leroy are growing like weeds,” Leray told her. “I can’t wait to see him,” Marci said as she looked out the truck window watching for the lane to the Dalton house. She looked hard to see if she could see Isaiah, Jr. playing in the yard in front of the house. “Where is Isaiah, Jr.?” she asked Leray. “I don’t rightly know, when I left he and Leroy were over by the barn,” he answered. Marci looked at the barn just in time to see the two boys as they ran in the door. “There they are,” Marci said. She practically leaped from the truck just as it stopped and ran toward the barn. Isaiah, Jr. and Leroy came running out of the barn and headed for the water pump. “Isiah, Jr., come see me,” she said. Both boys stopped when they heard Marci call out and turned to look at her. What she expected was Isaiah, Jr. to run straight to her with his arms open and happy to see her. Instead he just stood there for a few seconds and slowly started to walk toward her. “Son, aren’t you glad to see your Momma?” she asked hoping for a better response. To her surprise Isaiah, Jr. barely reacted to her comment. He continued to slowly walked into her arms as she knelt down to greet him. “Can I go back and play with Leroy?” he said as he pulled himself away from her. “Sure go back and play and we’ll talk in a few minutes,” Marci told him. Marci was shocked by her son’s reactions to her. She could not fathom why he did not act excited to see her after being away for a month. Leray had taken her suitcases to the porch and she could see he was waiting on her at the front door. Just as she reached the top step she heard Cora Mae’s voice inside the house. “We’ll get her back on the train Sunday afternoon and maybe she’ll stay away this time,” she heard Cora Mae saying. “Well I hope so,” she heard Frank say. Realizing Marci was with in hearing distance of the Daltons, Leray yelled out, “Miss Marci is here.” Almost instantly Cora Mae was at the door. “Come on in Honey, we’ve been waiting on you.” Cora Mae said.

Pet Care Therapy Dog Flunks by Sam Mazzotta

Dear Paw's Corner: My friend's Golden Retriever, Janey, was training to be a therapy dog, but flunked an important test and needs more training to qualify. What does she mean? I wasn't aware that emotional support dogs needed extra training—they're not service dogs. —Barron L., Birmingham, Alabama Dear Barron: It's true that no training or certification is needed for an owner to declare their pet a companion or emotional support pet. However, the growing need for therapy dogs who provide temporary emotional support to humans going through a crisis or an emotionally difficult time has led to calls for more standardized training in these roles. The American Kennel Club is perhaps the most prominent organization to approve therapy dog certification organizations under specific criteria. Therapy dogs frequently visit hospitals, nursing homes, classrooms, shelters, and even courtrooms to provide comfort to people of all ages. Their unique role in working with many different people over the course of a day,

YOUR VISION IS OUR FOCUS

these dogs need to be even-tempered and well-socialized, and respond instantly to commands from their handler. Handlers need to pass a background check, because the pair will be working with vulnerable populations. Some certification groups such as the Alliance of Therapy Dogs will test and observe a potential therapy animal. Their instructor/observer will give the owner advice and guidance during this process. If the dog needs more training or doesn't have the right temperament, then it won't be recommended for certification. It sounds like Janey has the right temperament but needs more behavioral training. I hope her owner goes forward with it, because the world could use more of these wonderful dogs.

unions, and others also can train and designate certain employees to act. In return, the institution itself also gets immunity for the disclosure of private information to law enforcement. That's not to say it's now required that banks and other institutions call the police if they suspect a senior is being financially exploited. Authors of the bill hope that by providing immunity it will encourage financial institutions to step up after they're trained. A few states already have this protection against financial elder abuse, but now it's federal, and all states will need to follow the law. If enough financial institutions sign up for the program, it could go a long way toward helping seniors to avoid being victims.

ongress took a big step last year to protect our financial interests. The Senior$afe Act gives immunity to bank employees who call the authorities if they think a senior is being scammed. It's not quite that simple, but that's the end result. Too often when seniors are being scammed, they go to the bank to ask about transferring or withdrawing large sums of money and wiring it to others. In scams, that can mean fake grandchildren or fake IRS employees who have scared us. It's estimated that seniors lose $3 billion per year to financial exploitation. Until now, the bank was unable to step in, even if it knew something was wrong, being told that privacy was more important than mere suspicions. Now certain bank employees, specially trained to identify questionable activities, will have immunity, or freedom from a lawsuit. It's not just banks. Other types of financial institutions also will be given this ability to help. Our investment advisers, brokers, insurance agents, credit

• If you're planning a summer vacation in Maine this year, you might want to keep in mind that in that state, it's against the law to tickle a woman under the chin with a feather duster. • You might be surprised to learn that drinking tea increased the life expectancy of the British—and even more surprised to learn why. It was not any beneficial compound found in the tea itself; rather, it was the act of boiling the water, which had the effect of killing pathogens found in the untreated water that was largely in use in England at that time. Also, once the Brits started drinking tea, they became addicted to the caffeine and therefore drank quite a bit more boiled water than had been their wont, decreasing even further

their exposure to the pathogens that caused illness. • You've doubtless heard of paranoia, but you're likely not familiar with metanoia. “A profound transformation in one's outlook” isn't terribly common considering today's deep societal divisions. • Food for thought: What could you do with an extra $1,500? According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture, for every person in an American home, almost 300 pounds of food is thrown out each year. For a family of four, this amounts to about $1,500 in waste annually. • Researchers in Greece who recently completed a study on napping found that men who nap at least three times a week were at a 37 percent lower risk for heart-related death. So now you have an excuse to do what you want to do anyway. Thought For The Day: “We're here to put a dent in the universe.” —Steve Jobs

May 31, 2019—Seniors Today—Page 17 Steps To Take After Death Of A Spouse fter the death of a spouse, the surviving spouse usually believes there is nothing to probate. Most married couples own assets as joint tenants with right of survivorship or tenants by the entireties. On the death of the first spouse, the surviving spouse often assumes ownership of the property. Certain intangible property may require a death certificate for the transfer of the accounts in order to transfer title. However, in order to clear title to real estate held as joint tenants or tenants in the entireties after the death of a spouse, it is generally necessary to take three steps to clear title. Often nothing is done until the last surviving spouse has passed, leaving the family to figure out how to sell the home that was not probated and for which title was never cleared. To clear title to a marital home, it is necessary to do three things: 1. File a death certificate of the spouse with the clerk of court in the county in which the real property is located. If property is in more than one county, a recording is required in each county.

Protect What Matters …by Linda Carley

2. The second step is that the surviving spouse should execute an Affidavit of Continuous Marriage. Although not required by statute, most title insurance companies require that the affidavit be filed with the county clerk in order to transfer property in the future. The Affidavit will state that the couple was married on a specific date, remained married to each other until the date of death. The Affidavit proves that tenancy in the entireties is valid through the time of death of the deceased spouse. 3. The third step is to file a form with the Florida Department of Revenue Form DR-312 indicating that there is no Florida Estate Tax due. Contact Attorney Linda Carley, Esquire, Fla.
