Divorce and seperate property?

What is the name of your state? Florida

My sister was married in 1996 in Florida, and in 1998 they seperated and her husband moved to another state never to be heard from again.

In 2000 she bought property and has been living there and paying for it by herself. His name is on her checking account but not her savings account. Now she wishes to get divorced and marry someone else. But she is afraid that her current husband will come out of the "wood work" to lay claim on her assets.

Does he have any right to the property or her bank accounts?

What is the best way to approach this to minimize risk of loss?


Thank you.
