Florida Statute Section 222.07 states:
Upon the completion of the inventory the person entitled to the exemption, or the person’s agent or attorney , may select from such inventory an amount of property not exceeding, according to such appraisal, the amount of value exempted; but if the person so entitled, or the person’s agent, or attorney, does not appear and make such selection, the officer shall make the selection for him or her, and the property not so selected as exempt may be sold.
