Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Florida
If I own a piece of property and I want to leave that property to my husband in our will (we were not married when I purchased it) can I also stipulate in the will that if he sells that property that I would like a percentage of the proceeds to go to my children? This would be under Florida law

You likely need to put the property in trust and have the trust handle it pursuant to the terms you want.

You can leave a life estate to him and have the children be the remaindermen. that way he can live in it until he dies and then the children will inherit it.
