FL Stat § 711.507 (2021)
2021 Florida Statutes|Title XL - Real and Personal Property|Chapter 711 - Florida Uniform Transfer-on-Death Security Registration Act|711.507 - Ownership on Death of Owner.

711.507 Ownership on death of owner.—On death of a sole owner or the last to die of all multiple owners, ownership of securities registered in beneficiary form passes to the beneficiary or beneficiaries who survive all owners. On proof of death of all owners and compliance with any applicable requirements of the registering entity, a security registered in beneficiary form may be reregistered in the name of the beneficiary or beneficiaries who survived the death of all owners. Until division of the security after the death of all owners, multiple beneficiaries surviving the death of all owners hold their interests as tenants in common. If no beneficiary survives the death of all owners, the security belongs to the estate of the deceased sole owner or the estate of the last to die of all multiple owners.History.—s. 3, ch. 94-216.
FL Stat § 711.508 (2021)
2021 Florida Statutes|Title XL - Real and Personal Property|Chapter 711 - Florida Uniform Transfer-on-Death Security Registration Act|711.508 - Protection of Registering Entity.

711.508 Protection of registering entity.—(1) A registering entity is not required to offer or to accept a request for security registration in beneficiary form. If a registration in beneficiary form is offered by a registering entity, the owner requesting registration in beneficiary form assents to the protections given to the registering entity by ss. 711.50-711.512.(2) By accepting a request for registration of a security in beneficiary form, the registering entity agrees that the registration will be implemented on death of the deceased owner as provided in ss. 711.50-711.512.(3) A registering entity is discharged from all claims to a security by the estate, creditors, heirs, or devisees of a deceased owner if it registers a transfer of the security in accordance with s. 711.507 and does so in good faith reliance on the registration, on ss. 711.50-711.512, and on information provided to it by affidavit of the personal representative of the deceased owner, or by the surviving beneficiary or by the surviving beneficiary’s representatives, or other information available to the registering entity. The protections of ss. 711.50-711.512 do not extend to a reregistration or payment made after a registering entity has received written notice from any claimant to any interest in the security objecting to implementation of a registration in beneficiary form. No other notice or other information available to the registering entity affects its right to protection under ss. 711.50-711.512.(4) The protection provided by ss. 711.50-711.512 to the registering entity of a security does not affect the rights of beneficiaries in disputes between themselves and other claimants to ownership of the security transferred or its value or proceeds.History.—s. 3, ch. 94-216.
FL Stat § 711.509 (2021)
2021 Florida Statutes|Title XL - Real and Personal Property|Chapter 711 - Florida Uniform Transfer-on-Death Security Registration Act|711.509 - Nontestamentary Transfer on Death.

711.509 Nontestamentary transfer on death.—(1) A transfer on death resulting from a registration in beneficiary form is effective by reason of the contract regarding the registration between the owner and the registering entity and ss. 711.50-711.512 and is not testamentary.(2) Sections 711.50-711.512 do not limit the rights of creditors of security owners against beneficiaries and other transferees under other laws of this state.History.—s. 3, ch. 94-216.
FL Stat § 711.51 (2021)
2021 Florida Statutes|Title XL - Real and Personal Property|Chapter 711 - Florida Uniform Transfer-on-Death Security Registration Act|711.51 - Terms, Conditions, and Forms for Registration.

711.51 Terms, conditions, and forms for registration.—(1) A registering entity offering to accept registrations in beneficiary form may establish the terms and conditions under which it will receive requests for registrations in beneficiary form, and requests for implementation of registrations in beneficiary form, including requests for cancellation of previously registered transfer-on-death beneficiary designations and requests for reregistration to effect a change of beneficiary. The terms and conditions so established may provide for proving death, avoiding or resolving any problems concerning fractional shares, designating primary and contingent beneficiaries, and substituting a named beneficiary’s descendants to take in the place of the named beneficiary in the event of the beneficiary’s death. Substitution may be indicated by appending to the name of the primary beneficiary the letters “LDPS,” standing for “lineal descendants per stirpes.” This designation substitutes a deceased beneficiary’s descendants who survive the owner for a beneficiary who fails to so survive, the descendants to be identified and to share in accordance with the law of the beneficiary’s domicile at the owner’s death governing inheritance by descendants of an intestate. Other forms of identifying beneficiaries who are to take on one or more contingencies, and rules for providing proofs and assurances needed to satisfy reasonable concerns by registering entities regarding conditions and identities relevant to accurate implementation of registrations in beneficiary form, may be contained in a registering entity’s terms and conditions.(2) The following are illustrations of registrations in beneficiary form which a registering entity may authorize:(a) Sole owner-sole beneficiary: John S Brown TOD (or POD) John S Brown Jr.(b) Multiple owners-sole beneficiary: John S Brown Mary B Brown JT TEN TOD John S Brown Jr.(c) Multiple owners-primary and secondary (substituted) beneficiaries:1. John S Brown Mary B Brown JT TEN TOD John S Brown Jr SUB BENE Peter Q Brown; or2. John S Brown Mary B Brown JT TEN TOD John S Brown Jr LDPS.History.—s. 3, ch. 94-216.

Failure of a summary notice or amendment to be indexed to the current owners of the affected property does not affect the validity of the notice or vitiate the effect of the filing of such notice.(3) A notice under subsection (1) or subsection (2) preserves an interest in land or other right subject to extinguishment under this chapter, or a covenant or restriction or portion of such covenant or restriction, for not less than 30 years after filing the notice unless the notice is filed again as required in this chapter. A person’s disability or lack of knowledge of any kind may not delay the commencement of or suspend the running of the 30-year period.

The preceding sentence is intended to clarify existing law.(4) It is not necessary for the owner of the marketable record title, as described in s. 712.02, to file a notice to protect his or her marketable record title.History.—s. 5, ch. 63-133; s. 798, ch. 97-102; s. 3, ch. 97-202; s. 1, ch. 2003-79; s. 7, ch. 2014-133; s. 3, ch. 2018-55.

2021 Florida Statutes|Title XL - Real and Personal Property|Chapter 712 - Marketable Record Titles to Real Property|712.065 - Extinguishment of Discriminatory Restrictions.

712.065 Extinguishment of discriminatory restrictions.—(1) As used in this section, the term “discriminatory restriction” means a provision in a title transaction recorded in this state which restricts the ownership, occupancy, or use of any real property in this state by any natural person on the basis of a characteristic that has been held, or is held after September 4, 2020, by the United States Supreme Court or the Florida Supreme Court to be protected against discrimination under the Fourteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution or under s. 2, Art. I of the State Constitution, including race, color, national origin, religion, gender, or physical disability.(2) A discriminatory restriction is not enforceable in this state, and all discriminatory restrictions contained in any title transaction recorded in this state are unlawful, are unenforceable, and are declared null and void. Any discriminatory restriction contained in a previously recorded title transaction is extinguished and severed from the recorded title transaction, and the remainder of the title transaction remains enforceable and effective. The recording of any notice preserving or protecting interests or rights pursuant to s. 712.06 does not reimpose or preserve any discriminatory restriction that is extinguished under this section.(3) Upon request of a parcel owner, a discriminatory restriction appearing in a covenant or restriction affecting the parcel may be removed from the covenant or restriction by an amendment approved by a majority vote of the board of directors of the respective property owners’ association or an owners’ association in which all owners may voluntarily join, notwithstanding any other requirements for approval of an amendment of the covenant or restriction. Unless the amendment also changes other provisions of the covenant or restriction, the recording of an amendment removing a discriminatory restriction does not constitute a title transaction occurring after the root of title for purposes of s. 712.03(4).History.—ss. 1, 2, ch. 2020-164.
