Sure, he was stuck, and it doesn’t sound like his wife is a legitimate Florida resident anyway, so he loses. Should have sold it for $10 million, and taken a long vacation with his money like Marc Rich. I’m sure there’s some pleasant place in Central America that would shelter him.
it depends on which homestead exemption we are discussing. Taxation exemption vs collections exemption.
The reporter, and posters here, are confusing the two.
it is really easy, look up the house in the fl public access homestead database. It should say right there if it is homestead exempt. It should also say when they bought the property.
