Frequently Asked Questions
01 What is considered part of an estate in Florida?
Under Florida estate law, your estate includes all property and assets you own at the time of your death. This typically encompasses bank accounts, business interests, investments, life insurance policies, retirement accounts, real estate (including your primary residence), personal property such as jewelry or vehicles, and other valuable assets. Once someone passes away, an estate administrator is responsible for overseeing the proper distribution of these assets before closing the estate.
02 Is my out-of-state will valid in Florida? What if my estate plan is outdated?
Generally, a will drafted in another state is legally valid in Florida. Still, it may require revisions to align with Florida-specific laws. Additionally, suppose your estate plan is several years old. In that case, it might not reflect meaningful life changes such as divorce, the birth of a child, or a shift in your assets. It’s essential to regularly review and update your documents with a Florida estate planning attorney to ensure your wishes are accurately preserved and your named beneficiaries are up to date.
03 Besides a will, what other estate planning documents should I consider?
While a Last Will and Testament is central to any estate plan, it’s not the only document you may need. For protection during your lifetime, consider adding:
- A Durable Power of Attorney to handle financial matters if you’re incapacitated.
- A Healthcare Surrogate or Health Care Proxy, to make medical decisions on your behalf.
- A Living Will, which outlines your end-of-life care preferences.
- A revocable living trust helps avoid probate and ensures a smoother transfer of assets.
These tools help ensure your wishes are followed both during your lifetime and after.
04 When should I start creating an estate plan?
The best time to begin estate planning is now. Life is unpredictable, and having a plan in place gives you control and a sense of peace of mind. Starting early helps avoid complications, protects your loved ones, and secures your legacy. Even if you’re young or just starting your career or family, a basic estate plan can provide valuable legal and financial protection.
05 Can a living trust help reduce my income taxes?
No, a living trust will not reduce your income tax burden. Its main benefits include helping your estate avoid probate and potentially reducing or eliminating estate taxes at both the state and federal levels. However, it won’t affect your annual income tax obligations. Despite this, living trusts remain a powerful estate planning tool, offering flexibility, privacy, and a smoother asset distribution process.
