Can the administration of corrections department be sued for failure to protect an officer that was assualted
Possibly. A tort claim notice needs to be filed within 90 days of the injury. There definitely would be a workers comp case.

If a spouse is working a full time job and the wife is on social security disability and they get sued by a creditor, can the creditor garnish the head of household wages on the one that is working. ( on the working spouse, if the wife is social security disabled )
In Florida, if the working spouse is eligible to claim head of household (and does) the creditor would not be able to garnish the wages of that person. Social Security benefits are not eligible for garnishment.
My 93 year old uncle passed away and left his house to my 87 year old mother. She does not want it . Her name is in his will. She would like to know if she is responsible for the house.
Your mom can "disclaim" the house if it's within 9 months of death. That is she basically says she doens't want it. Likely the house fall to her children (you and siblings). However, important to work this through with a probate attorney to verify it. Good luck. -John
I agree with the previous answer, and be sure to know to whom it will go if she disclaims it. She won't be responsible for the maintenance while it's in probate, but if the estate has no cash, the beneficiaries may need to contribute (or take a loan against the house) as a practical matter.
Your uncle's estate will need to go through probate. Your mother can renounce the inheritance during that process. The will of your uncle will determine who is next in line for the house -- the property would not necessarily pass to you and to your siblings. As such, it is necessary for your mother to make the decision carefully as to what she wants to do.
