Common Questions

Estate planning is the process of preparing for the future by creating a plan to manage your assets and protect your loved ones if something were to happen to you. With a well-structured estate plan, you can avoid unnecessary complications, minimize taxes, and ensure your family is cared for and your wishes are honored.

Many of our clients are surprised at how simple and empowering the process can be. For a deeper dive into the key elements of estate planning, check out our Guide to Estate Planning. Our goal is to make this journey as straightforward and stress-free as possible.

Deciding between a will and a trust depends on your individual circumstances and estate planning goals.

Wills:

  • Pros: A will allows you to specify how your assets will be distributed after your death and designate guardians for minor children. It's generally simpler and less expensive to create than a trust.

  • Cons: Assets distributed through a will typically go through probate, a court-supervised process that is public and time-consuming. This means your estate details become part of the public record, and in most cases, incur additional legal costs.

Trusts:

  • Pros: Assets you put into your trust avoid probate, allowing for a more private and quicker administration. Trusts also empower you with controls over when and how your beneficiaries receive their inheritance, which can be beneficial for minor children or beneficiaries who have trouble managing money. Additionally, trusts can offer protection against creditors and may have tax benefits.

  • Cons: Establishing a trust can be more complex and costly upfront compared to a will. It also requires ongoing management, including transferring assets into the trust, to ensure it's effective.

In many cases, having both a will and a trust is advisable. A trust can manage and distribute the majority of your assets, while a will can address any assets not included in the trust and specify guardianship for minor children. This combination ensures comprehensive coverage of your estate planning needs.

To determine the best approach for your situation, it's recommended to consult with an experienced estate planning attorney who can provide personalized advice based on your specific circumstances.

No. Online estate planning services rely on generic templates and automated decision-making. Estate plans generated by an online service often overlook critical details, such as tax implications, state-specific laws, and the complexities of blended families and other unique situations. This one-size-fits-all approach leads to costly mistakes and disputes, putting your wealth and relationships at risk.

Working with an attorney via videoconference offers the best of both worlds—personalized legal guidance with the convenience of an online process. Through secure video meetings, you can discuss your goals, ask questions, and review documents in real time with a professional who understands you and your goals. Your attorney helps make sure everything is legally sound, tailored to your circumstances, and compliant with Florida estate law.
