Everyone thinks they have more time, but failing to plan means leaving behind costly problems.
Your estate plan will require its own set of legal documents depending on your wishes and what you want to protect and pass to your loved ones.
We will help you create a plan that is right for you and your family.
This legal document appoints a personal representative of your estate after you pass. The personal representative will take care of managing the estate, paying outstanding debts, and distributes specific property. A will must go through Florida probate court.
With a revocable living trust, the property is still distributed at death, but it is done without the need of a probate court proceeding. During your lifetime, the trust will own the property, and your beneficiaries will receive designated assets after death.
A financial power of attorney names an agent who has the power to act in your place for matters relating to finances.
This document outlines a person’s wishes for end-of-life medical care. It can include wishes regarding what medical treatments the person would or would not like to have in specific situations. A living will takes the stress of making those decisions off of family members and helps keep peace in families during times that can be difficult and emotional.
A healthcare power of attorney, called a “designation of healthcare surrogate” in Florida, is also a vital part of an estate plan. This legal document allows you to appoint an agent to make your healthcare decisions if you are unable to.

A Will is a straightforward document that outlines how your assets should be distributed after your death, but it must go through probate, which can be time-consuming and public.
On the other hand, a revocable living trust allows you to manage your assets during your lifetime and can provide for a seamless transfer of those assets after you pass away, bypassing probate. Trusts can also offer privacy and may be beneficial for specific planning needs, such as caring for minor children or individuals with special needs.
Consult with an estate planning attorney to determine which option is best for you based on your financial situation and goals.
Assets you put into an irrevocable trust no longer belong to you; they belong to the trust. By placing assets outside your estate, you can shield them from creating an estate tax liability when you pass away.
