Cohen v. Shushan

By Jenna G. Rubin

In Florida, a “surviving spouse” receives certain benefits- they can take an intestate share of the deceased spouse’s estate and they may also be entitled to an elective share, family allowance, homestead and so on. Under principles of comity, Florida courts will recognize the marriage of citizens of a foreign country if that marriage was valid under foreign law.
