What are the rights at age 18 in Florida?

Answer:

When you reach the age of majority in America (18) you obtain the basic rights of citizenship in this country. In paticular, you are allowed to participate in general elections and when a contract is negogiated, you can be fully liable depending on the specific terms .These rights consist of: getting married, buying a lotto ticket, buying cigarettes, voting, bearing full responsibility for contracts, and other basic privelages. However, in some states, the age of majority is set at 21 including NY, and D.C. Basically, this means that your right to transfer possession to your inheritance might be restricted, but it varies depending on the policies of the state that you reside. You are also limited with issues related to alcohol and gambling when your 18.

Sorry forgot to mention about emancipation. Basically, when you turn 18, you have the rights to become fully emancipated since you are no longer an obligation to your parents. However, if you need them to co-sign a lease on an apartment, they still can do that. In the event that you are unable to pay the lease, (considering you are seeking to rent), they make themselves liable for the rent of that particular month. Hope this helps
