Top-Asked Questions
Yes. A will lets you control how your property is distributed and who raises minor children. A revocable living trust avoids probate (saving time/money), provides privacy, and manages your affairs if you become incapacitated. Many people benefit from both. We recommend consulting an estate attorney to determine what's right for your situation.
Probate is the court process that authenticates your will and distributes property. In Florida, it typically takes 6 months to 2 years depending on complexity and asset value. It's public, can be expensive, and ties up assets. A properly drafted trust avoids probate entirely.
A will only takes effect after death and goes through probate. A living trust takes effect immediately, avoids probate, provides privacy, and lets you manage your affairs if incapacitated. Trusts are more complex but offer significant advantages for most people. We help you decide which documents you need.
You create a durable power of attorney (for financial decisions) and health care power of attorney (for medical decisions). These documents let you name someone to make decisions if you become unable to. Without them, your family must go to court for guardianship—expensive and public. Plan ahead to avoid this.
Florida has no state estate tax, but federal estate tax applies to estates over $13.61 million (2024). Your estate might still owe federal taxes, and beneficiaries inherit property at stepped-up basis (reducing capital gains tax). Proper planning minimizes taxes. We help structure your estate tax-efficiently.
