Is my Will, Durable Power of Attorney, Living Will, and Health Care Surrogate Designation necessary to update my daughters names and addresses?

Terry Lynn Garrett
Answered by attorney Terry Lynn Garrett
Estate Planning lawyer at The Garrett Law Firm, PLLC
From your question it appears that your daughters have taken their husband's surnames and moved.  If this will not interfere with other peoples' ability to identify and contact them, no change need be made.  If, however, their telephone numbers have changed, you will want to reflet this in the Health Care Surrogate Designation.  A health care provider will need to be able to call them, not to write a letter which may or may not be forwarded.

Answered by attorney John M Abramson (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Abramson & Magidson, P.A.
A joint tenant's interest is subject to levy and execution. See McDowell v. Trailer Ranch, Inc., 421 So. 2d 751 (Fla. 4th D.C.A. 1982). Therefore, as a general rule where a certified copy of a judgment has been recorded against a joint tenant with right of survivorship, such judgment lien must be released or shown as an exception to coverage. One exception to the general rule exists. Since the interest of a joint tenant terminates upon his death, a lien on his interest is a lien on a defeasible interest. The lien terminates when, by reason of death, his interest in the tenancy terminates. See D.A.D., Inc. v. Moring, 218 So. 2d 451 (Fla. 4th DCA 1964). Therefore, where the joint tenant against whom a judgment lien exists dies and the property vests in the survivor, the judgment lien against the deceased tenant may be disregarded.
