>> Florida’s homestead exemption of real property means, in most cases, you cannot lose your house in a Florida lawsuit.

>> Many assets are exempt from creditor execution, thanks to Florida statutes. While, common law protects property jointly owned by a married couple, from the creditor of a spouse – in a type of ownership called ‘tenants by entireties.

There's a similarly great book called _My Love Affair with Miami Beach_ with photos by Richard Nagler & text by Isaac Bashevis Singer.

I honestly miss the Miami Beach of my childhood. I wouldn't trade it for the current Art Deco district nightlife.
