There was legislation to fix this quirk in the law because the heir is not a guest (lock out okay), a trespasser (she entered with permission), or a tenant under 59.12. I don’t believe it has passed to my knowledge, but a whole host of legislation just got signed into law and I haven’t reviewed it all yet.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1f497d"> </span></p><p class="MsoNormal"> <span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1f497d"></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Courier New";color:#1f497d">Marcus J.
