In brief, Florida case law and opinions issued by the Florida Attorney General recognize that Trust beneficiaries can maintain their homestead exemption as long as they meet certain requirements, even though the Florida Constitution does not explicitly address homestead protection for properties held in Trust.
If you own real estate in Florida, you should strongly consider getting a revocable living trust if you don't already have one. The benefits can help you avoid probate and pass on more to your family.
In Florida, placing your property into a revocable trust ensures that the property is not reassessed for tax purposes, provided the transfer is executed correctly. This means that your property taxes should not increase solely because you've transferred your home into a trust for your child or any other beneficiary.
