Florida Estate Planning

Florida Estate Planning Attorney

What is Estate Planning?

Estate planning involves the protection, conservation and distribution of your assets to your loved ones and beneficiaries following your death. The Florida estate planning attorney process includes developing a plan in addition to preparing the necessary documents that will ensure the honoring of your property and health care wishes after you pass away.

The term estate refers to all of the property you own at the time of your death. Some examples include:

  • Bank Accounts
  • Personal Property: Vehicle(s), Boat(s), Jewelry, Works of Art, etc.
  • Real Estate
  • Securities: Stocks, Investments, etc.
  • Life Insurance Policies

The Importance of Estate Planning

The truth is that most people in the United States do not have a will, much less a comprehensive plan for their property when they die. Estate planning ensures that your loved ones and beneficiaries are taken care of after you pass away.

Regardless of your age or your net worth, having even a basic estate plan in place is highly important. An estate plan should include the following elements:

  • A will
  • Trust(s)
  • Power of Attorney assignment
  • A Living Will/Medical Power of Attorney

Comprehensive estate planning also has the capability to clarify important legal questions that may arise after your death, such as the ownership of personal property, the state of your financial affairs following your death, and a clear indication of the distribution of your assets to each beneficiary. It also includes legal information to care for you if you are still alive but cannot make decisions for yourself, like guardianship and elderly care.
