Confederate soldiers were generally not eligible to participate in the Homestead Act of 1862. The Act was designed to provide land to loyal citizens of the United States, and after the Civil War, former Confederates faced restrictions on land acquisition. However, some former Confederates could eventually benefit from the Act if they renounced their previous allegiance and demonstrated loyalty to the Union.

Can a property held in a Revocable Living Trust qualify for the Florida homestead exemption?

While I am not a Florida attorney, the general rule is that including property in a Revocable Living Trust does not change the ownership for purposes of a homestead exemption. Because such a trust is revocable at any time, it is still considered your property and therefore still qualifies for a homestead exemption.

You have a home in FL and one in MI -- can you homestead both homes since the one in FL is for sale?

In Florida, you can only homestead one property at a time to qualify for the homestead exemption, which provides tax benefits and protections. If your Florida home is for sale, you can still claim the homestead exemption on it until the sale is completed, but you cannot claim it on both homes simultaneously. Once the Florida home is sold, you would need to establish residency and apply for a homestead exemption on the Michigan home if you choose to make it your primary residence.
