What Does a Basic Estate Plan Include?
A basic estate plan is more than just a Will, though having a Will is an important component and essential to an estate plan.
4 Things You Should Do Immediately Following a Car Accident
We’ve boiled down the action steps you need to take following a car accident to protect your interests.
Are Revocable Trusts Public Record?
Trusts are not public record, and for some, privacy is a key consideration when creating a trust. Unlike a last will and testament, a revocable trust does not get deposited with the probate court in the State of Florida upon the death of the Grantor or Settlor (i.e. person who created the trust). An exception exists if there is a lawsuit filed regarding the trust.
Can You Avoid Probate without a Trust?
Many people want to avoid a potentially costly and lengthy probate process for the beneficiaries of their estate, but don’t want to create a trust, transfer assets, and manage the trust. Often a client will come in with their elderly parent wanting to know how they can inherit quickly and efficiently, i.e. without probating the assets. Probate can be avoided with the careful planning of an estate, but can it be avoided without a trust? The short answer is yes, but it depends.
How are Wills Executed in Florida?
Florida is pretty particular when it comes to the execution of testamentary documents. If a Florida will is not executed with certain formalities, it may be deemed invalid, which means the testator will be treated as if he or she died without a will. If your will is deemed invalid, you lose the power to appoint your personal representative and your assets will descend according to Florida law as opposed to your well thought out wishes.
What is a Durable Power of Attorney?
Many people think that estate planning is something that should be done if you have a lot of money or are close to death. This is not true! Everyone needs an estate plan regardless of their age or wealth. Three out of the four estate planning documents we commonly draft for our clients are to be used during life! A Durable Power of Attorney is one of the most important estate planning documents.
What is a Florida Living Will?
A living will in Florida is a declaration regarding life sustaining procedures. Any competent adult may, at any time, make a living will or written declaration and direct the • providing, • withholding, or • withdrawal of life-prolonging procedures in the event that such person • has a terminal condition, • has an end-stage condition, or • is in a persistent vegetative state.
What is a Health Care Surrogate?
A designation of health care surrogate allows you to designate an agent to make medical and health care decisions on your behalf. The document must be signed by you in the presence of two subscribing adult witnesses. The person designated as surrogate shall not act as witness to the execution of the document designating the health care surrogate. At least one person who acts as a witness shall be neither the principal’s spouse nor blood relative.
What is a Lady Bird Deed?
In Florida, a Lady Bird deed is an estate planning tool used which can be used to avoid the probate of real property. The property is immediately transferred to the beneficial owner, a.k.a. remainderman, upon the death of the grantor/life tenant.
What is a Revocable Trust?
The Revocable Trust is the most common trust used in estate planning. The Trust is created by the Grantor or Settlor, who will likely choose to serve as the initial Trustee of the Trust. The Trustee is responsible for the day to day management of the Trust investments and property. As the initial Trustee, the Grantor can add or remove assets from the Trust during her lifetime and for her own benefit.
