WE PROVIDE INDIVIDUALLY TAILORED ESTATE PLANS

Are you concerned about the future of your estate, assets, and the well-being of your loved ones?

Our experienced Florida estate planning attorneys can help you create a comprehensive Last Will & Testament to ensure your wishes are carried out and your legacy is protected.

A Last Will & Testament, often simply referred to as a “will,” is a legally binding document that outlines your wishes for the distribution of your assets, property, and personal belongings after your passing. It also allows you to appoint a trusted individual, called an executor, to manage your estate and ensure your final directives are followed.

Simple Wills

A simple will provides a mechanism for determining heirs, distributing property, creating trusts where appropriate, and nominating guardians, trustees and personal representatives. It is important to note that even persons with relatively small estates can have complex estate planning issues.

Complex Wills

There are various factors that create a need for a more complex will. Among those are the nature of the family structure, the size and type of assets involved, the need to create various trusts, as well as estate tax planning where necessary.

Out-of-State Wills

A will that has been prepared in a state other than Florida might be valid for probate in Florida. However, there could be provisions in the out-of-state will that would be ineffective or not conform to Florida law requirements. Therefore, it would be wise to have your will reviewed by a Florida estate planning attorney to determine its validity.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why do I need a will?

Maintain control over your estate
Without a will, the distribution of your assets will be determined by Florida’s intestacy laws. This may result in your property and possessions being distributed in a manner that doesn’t align with your wishes.

Protect your loved ones
By specifying your beneficiaries in your will, you ensure that your loved ones are provided for according to your desires. This can minimize disputes and legal battles among family members after your passing.

Choose a guardian for your minor child
A will enables you to nominate a guardian for your minor children, ensuring they are cared for by someone you trust in the event of your untimely death.

Expedite the probate process
Having a clear, well-drafted will can simplify and expedite the probate process, helping your loved ones avoid unnecessary stress and costs during an already challenging time.

Support charities or organizations
A will allows you to leave a lasting legacy by providing financial support to charities, educational institutions, or other organizations that are important to you.
