Wilson v. Florida Nat. Bank & Trust Co. at Miami

Summary

The Supreme Court of Florida reversed the circuit court decree, holding that the 35‑acre tract remained homestead property at Charles T. Fuchs' death and therefore descended under §§ 731.05 and 731.27, precluding the widow's dower claim and granting her only a life estate; the court also affirmed the executors' right to seek declaratory relief and ordered costs to be shared.
