Generally no descendants it passes to surviving spouse 100%. If it was “Homestead” and the estate assets outside of the homestead is less than $75,000, a summary administration is opened and a petition to determine Homestead is filed in the case. The petition is filed order to notify the Florida Medicaid TPL recovery program and any known creditor an opportunity to challenge the Petition. If the court grants the petition, it passes free of the Medicaid lien and creditors’ claims.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Not a quick process, but generally not lengthy.
