Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Florida

I have been married for almost 3 years. My husband owned his house before we were married and it is only in his name. I already understand that in the event of his death, I could live in the house until my death, but then it would go to his daughter. If I decide to move right away, then the daughter has to take over payments? Would it be a foreclosure on my end if I don't pay?

If you move, you still have a life estate. Daughter does not have to take over payments. If you are not on the mortgage, you do not have to pay, but the bank could foreclose on the house.
