    I don’t think it was just OJ that used the Florida home protection. IIRC, Ken Lay was able to protect one or more of his secondary homes in Florida after Enron collapsed. I think the government was still trying to get the value from his widow… but it was all complicated by Florida laws/rules.

    Not sure whatever happened… Enron is pretty old news.

    IIRC OJ never filed BK. Since the civil judgement agianst him was due to his own actions (i.e. not just negligence) it can’t be wiped out in BK.

    For example, you hit someone with your car and seriously inujure them. If you are sober and it’s a pure accident you can usually have any judgement thrown out in a bk. If you were drunk or there was any kind of criminal element it’s different.

    The primary residence exemption in unlimited in FLA, in CA it only goes up to I think $125k if you have eldery or diasbled people living with you.

    A self settled trust gives no additional protection. However, it is very difficult to force the sale of a primary residence in CA. I have been told this by several lawyers.
