Wills and Revocable Living Trusts*

A will is a written direction controlling the disposition of property at death.

The Revocable Living Trust is often promoted as a means of avoiding probate and saving taxes at death and is governed by Chapter 736, Florida Statutes. The revocable trust has certain advantages over a traditional will, but there are many factors to consider before you decide if a revocable trust is best suited to your overall estate plan.

Durable Powers of Attorney*

A Power of Attorney terminates if the principal becomes incapacitated, unless it is a special kind of Power of Attorney known as a “Durable Power of Attorney.” A Durable Power of Attorney remains effective even if a person becomes incapacitated. There are certain exceptions when a durable power of attorney cannot be used.

Health Care Directives and Living Wills*

A Health care directive and Living Will is a written or oral statement about how you want medical decisions made should you not be able to make them yourself anymore.
