The easiest way to become an official
Florida resident is to file a declaration of domicile. Declaring Florida
Domicile is a "question of intent". The courts have ruled that your heart is
where your treasure lies. Many households have more than one residence,
sometimes more than two, so the matter of "intent" is very important. The fact
that one has lived in Florida continuously for six months is not always
true.
The Declaration of Domicile which states
that you reside at a given address, is notarized and filed with the County
Clerk of the Circuit Court of residence. No time constraint is required before
one can legally be declared a resident.

Selling Your Home >Child Proof Before Showing
As you prepare your home for the market, keep in mind that some of the people who will look at your home may bring along small children. Families with children may be looking for a larger home with more bedrooms and a bigger yard.
Prospective buyers will be accompanied by a real estate agent while touring your home, but that doesn't guarantee that the children will be supervised the entire time they are in your home. Every real estate agent has a story of a little person grabbing a Steuben apple from a low shelf, or of a toddler running full speed to the edge of a high deck.
Preparing your home to show involves common sense, such as removing sharp or breakable objects from low shelves and making sure that electric appliances don't have dangling cords that little hands can reach. If there is a possibility of falling from a porch or deck, place a visible note advising parents to supervise small children. Some sellers keep a few toys around to entertain young house hunters while their parents are looking at the home.
