HOSPITAL AFFILIATES OF FLORIDA, INC., D/B/a Coral Reef General Hospital, As Assignee of M.D. Services, Inc., D/B/a Miami Dade General Hospital, the Interested Party, Appellant, v. Marion McELROY, Personal Representative, of the Estate of Alice Marion Baker, Deceased, Appellee.

District Court of Appeal of Florida, Third District.

Rehearing Denied February 13, 1981.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

David Block and Ira B. Price, Miami, for appellant.

Simon, Schindler & Tripp and Judith A. Bass, Miami, for appellee.

Before HUBBART, C.J., and BASKIN and PEARSON, JJ.


BASKIN, Judge.

In this appeal from an order setting aside as homestead property owned by Alice Marion Baker at the time of her death, we are asked to decide whether her estate is entitled to exercise her homestead exemption. Because we hold that the homestead exemption was personal to Alice Baker as the spouse of Willie Baker, we reach a conclusion contrary to that reached by the trial court when it decided that the exemption applied to Alice Baker's estate.
