  “Madoff’s Wife Declares Palm Beach Home Main Residence”
  Wright was used as a legal source to provide insight into the constitutional protection provided homeowners in Florida. Bernard Madoff’s wife has declared her Palm Beach, Florida, estate as her primary residence, a move that may shield the $9.4 million home from creditors. Ruth Madoff applied for and received a homestead exemption for property taxes, said Dorothy Jacks, assistant property appraiser for Palm Beach County. The Florida constitution protects homeowners who have obtained the exemption and seizing the property may be difficult, said Danaya Wright.
