Five Florida law changes are now in effect. Here’s the recap:

• Minimum wage: Florida’s standard minimum wage increased to $15/hour on September 30.

• Rental fraud: Fraudulently obtaining residential rental possession is now a crime. Qualifying fraud also permits lease termination without an opportunity to cure, with seven days to vacate after notice. That notice is not an automatic eviction.

• Gang membership: Expanded criteria expressly include certain online activity. Two or more statutory criteria are required for membership designation.

• Pretrial release: Willfully violating a no-contact condition after arrest for specified crimes is a separate offense. A first violation is a first-degree misdemeanor; subsequent violations are third-degree felonies.

• Fi****ms near schools: Discharging a fi***rm within 1,000 feet during school hours or a sanctioned school activity can be a second-degree felony. Exceptions include lawful defense, lawful purposes, and specified private-property circumstances.

A no-contact violation can become a separate criminal charge.

Starting October 1, 2026, Florida makes willfully violating a pretrial no-contact condition after an arrest for specified violent crimes a standalone offense:

• First violation: first-degree misdemeanor.
• Second or subsequent violation: third-degree felony.

Your release conditions matter. Understanding exactly what the court ordered matters, too.

Florida just expanded how it defines gang membership — and social media now counts.
Starting October 1, criteria used to identify criminal gang membership include online and social media activity. A post, comment, or association online could now factor into how a case is built.
Understanding what’s changed matters, whether you’re a parent, a young adult, or just active online.

Rental Fraud / Landlord-Tenant
Florida just created a new crime for stealing a rental.
Starting October 1, someone who fraudulently takes possession of a residential rental — using a fake ID, forged lease, or similar scheme — is now committing a criminal offense. Landlords also get a faster eviction path: a noncurable seven-day notice, no cure period required.
If you manage rental property, document everything before you serve notice.

Being on your side also means keeping you informed.

Florida’s minimum wage increases to $15 an hour on September 30, 2026. If you earn minimum wage or know someone who does, this is an update worth sharing.

We’re passing it along because changes that affect our community’s paychecks deserve attention.

Share this with someone who needs the reminder.

A criminal record can follow you.

But sealing and expunging are not the same thing.

A sealed record still exists, but is generally hidden from public access.

An expunged record may be removed or destroyed, subject to Florida law and certain exceptions.

And not every record qualifies for either.

The difference matters. Your eligibility matters.

Before assuming your record has to follow you forever, find out what options may be available to you.

Florida probate can feel complicated because most people only learn how it works after someone dies.

That’s usually the worst time to be learning the process.

This carousel breaks down the basic flow:

• Opening the estate
• Giving required notice
• Identifying assets
• Handling debts and expenses
• Distributing what remains

The bigger lesson is simple:

Probate is a process. Planning can make that process clearer.

A valid estate plan, updated beneficiary designations, and properly structured assets may help reduce confusion, delays, and unnecessary court involvement for the people you leave behind.

Save this for reference. Share it with someone who keeps saying, “I need to get my affairs in order.”

If probate is already on your plate, or your estate plan has been sitting on your to-do list, make the call.

Schedule your free consultation with Atoms Law and get clear on your next step.

Estate Lessons From the Headlines

The names may get your attention. The lesson is what matters.

Recent estate cases involving public figures continue to show something that applies far beyond celebrity and wealth: when the plan isn’t clear, current, or properly administered, the court may become part of the process.

No will? State law can determine what happens next.

Outdated plan? Your documents may no longer reflect your life.

Questions about the administrator? Beneficiaries may ask the court to intervene.

Estate planning isn’t only about what you own. It’s about leaving clear instructions for what happens to it and who is responsible for carrying them out.

We’ll continue using cases making headlines to explain the legal lessons behind them, without the gossip.

Free consultations are available.
