1Maria, a 70-year-old Florida resident, signs her typed will at the end. Two witnesses are present in the same room and watch her sign. Both witnesses then sign the will, but only in Maria's presence and not in the presence of each other. Is the will validly executed under Florida law?
A.No, because under section 732.502 the attesting witnesses must sign in the presence of the testator AND in the presence of each other
B.Yes, because Florida recognizes holographic wills that need no witnesses
C.No, because Florida requires three attesting witnesses for a typed will
D.Yes, because the witnesses signed in the testator's presence, which is all Florida requires
Explanation: Under Fla. Stat. 732.502(1), the testator must sign at the end (or acknowledge a prior signature) in the presence of at least two attesting witnesses, and the witnesses must sign the will in the presence of the testator AND in the presence of each other. Failure of the witnesses to sign in each other's presence is a fatal execution defect; Florida requires strict compliance.
2A Florida testator handwrites his entire will, signs it at the end, and has two witnesses properly attest it in compliance with section 732.502. The document is otherwise valid. How does Florida law treat this instrument?
A.It is a valid holographic will exempt from the witness requirement
B.It is a valid will and is NOT treated as a holographic will because it met the standard execution formalities
C.It is valid only if recorded with the clerk of court before death
D.It is void because Florida prohibits handwritten wills entirely
Explanation: Fla. Stat. 732.502(2) states that a will in the testator's handwriting that is executed with the standard formalities (signature plus two attesting witnesses) is NOT a holographic will. The key point is that Florida does not honor holographic wills as such; a handwritten will is valid only when it meets the same formalities as a typed will, which this one did.
3Harold dies intestate domiciled in Florida. He is survived by his wife Ellen and by two children, both of whom are also Ellen's children. Neither Harold nor Ellen has any other descendants. Under the current Florida intestacy statute, what share does Ellen receive?
A.One-half of the intestate estate, with the children taking the other half
B.The first $60,000 plus one-half of the balance of the intestate estate
C.The entire intestate estate
D.A life estate in the homestead and one-third of the personal property
Explanation: Under Fla. Stat. 732.102(1)(b), when all of the decedent's surviving descendants are also descendants of the surviving spouse AND the surviving spouse has no other descendants, the surviving spouse takes the ENTIRE intestate estate. The older $60,000-plus-half rule was repealed effective 2011.
4Gloria dies intestate in Florida survived by her husband Tom and by one child from a prior relationship who is not Tom's child. Under Fla. Stat. 732.102, what does Tom receive?
A.The first $60,000 plus one-half of the balance
B.Nothing, because the child takes to the exclusion of a stepparent's spouse
C.The entire intestate estate
D.One-half of the intestate estate
Explanation: Under Fla. Stat. 732.102(1)(c), if one or more of the decedent's surviving descendants is NOT a lineal descendant of the surviving spouse, the surviving spouse receives one-half of the intestate estate and the descendants take the other half per 732.103. The non-shared child triggers the one-half rule.
5A Florida decedent dies intestate with no surviving spouse and no descendants. He is survived by his mother and father, both living. Under Fla. Stat. 732.103, who inherits the estate?
A.The decedent's mother and father equally, or the survivor of them
B.The decedent's siblings, because parents are not heirs in Florida
C.The decedent's paternal and maternal grandparents per stirpes
D.The estate escheats to the State of Florida
Explanation: Fla. Stat. 732.103(2) provides that when there is no surviving spouse and no descendant, the intestate estate descends to the decedent's father and mother equally, or to the survivor of them. Siblings inherit only if no parent survives (732.103(3)).
6Robert executes a valid Florida will leaving everything to his brother. Two years later Robert marries Susan and dies without changing his will. There is no prenuptial or postnuptial agreement, and Robert made no provision for Susan. What is Susan's remedy under Florida law?
A.Susan receives nothing because the will predates the marriage and remains valid
B.Susan, as a pretermitted spouse under section 732.301, receives the intestate share she would have taken had Robert died intestate
C.Susan must contest the will for undue influence to recover anything
D.Susan automatically receives the entire estate as the surviving spouse
Explanation: Under Fla. Stat. 732.301, when a person marries after making a will and the spouse survives, the pretermitted spouse receives a share equal to what she would have received under intestacy, unless provision was made for the spouse, the spouse was provided for or waived rights in a pre/postnuptial agreement, or the will discloses an intent not to provide for the spouse. None of those exceptions applies, so Susan takes an intestate share.
7A Florida testator's will, executed before the birth of his daughter Anna, leaves his entire estate to a charity and makes no mention of children. Anna is born after the will is executed and receives no advancement. The will shows no intent to omit after-born children. What is Anna entitled to?
A.Only the homestead, which cannot be devised away from a minor child
B.Nothing, because a parent may freely disinherit a child in Florida
C.A pretermitted child's share equal to what she would have received in intestacy under section 732.302
D.One-half of the estate as a forced heir
Explanation: Under Fla. Stat. 732.302, a child born or adopted after the will is made who is not provided for and did not receive an equivalent advancement takes a share equal to the intestate share, unless the will provided for the child, the omission was intentional, or the testator devised substantially all of the estate to the other parent of the child. Anna is a pretermitted child.
8Under Florida law, what is the minimum age and capacity requirement for a person to make a valid will?
A.Must be at least 18 and have no felony convictions
B.Any age is acceptable as long as two witnesses attest
C.Must be at least 21 years of age and of sound mind
D.Must be at least 18 years of age (or an emancipated minor) and of sound mind
Explanation: Under Fla. Stat. 732.501, any person who is of sound mind and is either 18 or more years of age or an emancipated minor may make a will. Testamentary capacity (sound mind) plus the age/emancipation requirement are the threshold conditions.
9A Florida will contains a self-proving affidavit signed by the testator and two witnesses before a notary at the time of execution. What is the principal legal effect of a self-proving affidavit under Fla. Stat. 732.503?
A.It allows the will to be admitted to probate without the testimony or appearance of the witnesses
B.It extends the time to contest the will from three months to two years
C.It converts the will into a holographic will exempt from witness requirements
D.It makes the will valid even if only one witness signed the will itself
Explanation: Under Fla. Stat. 732.503, a self-proving affidavit executed before a notary lets the will be admitted to probate without requiring the attesting witnesses to appear or testify about due execution. It streamlines probate proof; it does not change the substantive validity requirements.
10A Florida testator wants to revoke her existing will. Which method is effective to revoke a will by act under Fla. Stat. 732.506?
A.Telling two friends orally that the will is revoked
B.Burning, tearing, canceling, defacing, obliterating, or destroying the will with the intent to revoke
C.Writing 'revoked' on an unrelated piece of paper kept with the will
D.Simply executing a new beneficiary designation on a life insurance policy
Explanation: Under Fla. Stat. 732.506, a will may be revoked by act when the testator (or another person in the testator's presence and at the testator's direction) burns, tears, cancels, defaces, obliterates, or destroys the will with the intent and for the purpose of revocation. A will may also be revoked by a subsequent writing (732.505).
