Unless there is a anti-nuptial agreement in place, a deceased spouse can no longer disinherit a surviving spouse in Florida anymore. So the $1 possibly won't work. She would be entitled to at least 30% of his worldwide assets, with set offs of assets that may have been jointly owned between them or she received as a distribution from him. This includes assets that were jointly owned with someone else or payable to someone else (like in life insurance).

Dear sir,   You seem to be confusing your trust with a power of attorney. The law in Florida regarding powers of attorney has changed since 2011 and "springing " power of attorney are no longer valid if made after the date of the new law. "Springing" means that the agent's power only begins once the Principal becomes incapacitated. Please discuss this with your lawyer. I'm sure he can help with this.
