Florida's constitution limits who a home can go to at death when the owner leaves a spouse or a child under 18.

Does any owner have a child under 18?

Include adopted children. A Florida home can't be left to anyone by deed or will while the owner has a child under 18 (Florida Constitution, Article X, Section 4(c)).
