September 4, 2013122 So. 3d 320
Summary
The Florida Supreme Court adopted revisions to several approved family law forms to account for a new statute governing the effect of divorce on beneficiary designations at death.

The amended forms were made immediately available for use, while the Court expressly declined to opine on their correctness or applicability and invited public comment.
