This bill amends section 732.108 of the Florida Statutes to revise the rules governing intestate succession for persons born out of wedlock. Specifically, it introduces a new provision that allows individuals who are not residents of Florida or citizens of the United States to be recognized as legal heirs if they have been designated as such by a court in Florida or in their country of residence. This addition aims to clarify the legal status of certain individuals in matters of inheritance.

The effective date for this amendment is set for July 1, 2025. The bill seeks to ensure that individuals born out of wedlock are afforded the same rights in intestate succession as other heirs, regardless of their residency or citizenship status, provided they have been legally recognized as heirs by a competent court.
