Frequently asked questions
Do I really need a will in Florida?
Without a will, Florida's intestacy laws decide who inherits your assets, which may not match your wishes. A will lets you name guardians for minor children, choose your personal representative, and direct exactly how your estate is distributed.
What's the difference between a will and a trust?
A will takes effect at death and generally goes through probate. A trust can take effect during your lifetime, may help avoid probate, and can provide ongoing management of assets, useful for privacy, incapacity planning, and beneficiaries with special needs.
