Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Florida
When my father passed about 6 yrs ago I helped my mother out buying a house in Fl with her where she wanted to be. I live in Maryland. She has since met a man and plans to remarry. What are the new husbands rights to this house if he outlives her, she is 89 and this is a real possibility? The morgage is in my mothers and my name. What rights does new husband have to this house? What rights can she give him without my consent?

If there is no anti-nuptial agreement, the spouses would have the same rights as any other spouses. Therefore, the new husband could get at least some rights to the property.
If the house is jointly owned with you, you should be fine. However, if it is just her name, you've got problems. You and your mother should see an attorney to go over the matter more thoroughly.
