What To Consider During The Estate Planning Process

Determining whether a will, a trust or a combination of the two is appropriate for your estate can be a complicated question. Wills can help you plan for many assets and allow you to plan for your dependents’ care. Trusts offer protection from certain estate taxes, debts and, in many cases, probate. Our attorney can help you decide by asking important questions like:

  • What property, wealth and assets will be left behind after your passing?
  • Which loved ones, friends, charities and organizations should be included in your estate plan?
  • How do you protect your assets in the long term?

Each estate will have different considerations. Our attorney is an experienced estate planner. He will get to the heart of what you want for your loved ones and for the property you have worked so hard to earn.

What Will Happen To Your Home And Assets After You Die?

After you die in Florida, your home and assets will likely go through probate and then get distributed to the appropriate parties. If you have a valid will, Florida’s probate courts will generally distribute your assets based on what’s in that will. If you die without a will in Florida, your assets will get distributed based on Florida’s intestate laws, which focus on transferring them to your immediate family

Is A Will Really That Important To Create And Continue Updating As You Get Older?

Yes, it is incredibly important to create a will and update it as you continue to get older. Life can change a lot over the course of just a few years. Whether you get married, have children, get divorced, receive assets from another person’s estate or have a death in the family, updating your will helps you plan for and make adjustments to these life changes. For more information about how a will can be of value to you, reach out to our Lakeland office.
