A surviving spouse in Florida is entitled to elect to take an elective share of the decedents entire estate. Sometimes a Florida Will, Florida Trust or designations on accounts and investments seek to disinherit a spouse. A surviving spouse in Florida is entitled to take an elective share or around 30% of the entire estate. If the spouse is receiving less than this, as long as there are no valid pre nuptial or post nuptial agreements or waivers.

Not all assets are counted as part of the elective estate. Florida Statute § 732.2035 describes what property is included in the elective share of the decedent's estate.
