Estate planning isn’t just about what happens after you’re gone. It’s about ensuring a smooth and secure transition of your assets, minimizing potential family conflicts, and safeguarding your loved ones. Our Florida estate planning attorneys at B&M Law Group can help you navigate the complexities and make the best decisions for your unique situation.
Estate planning involves putting in place a comprehensive set of legal documents and strategies to manage your assets and affairs both during your lifetime and after your death. At B&M Law Group, we can guide you through some of the key aspects of estate planning, such as.
- Wills: A will is a foundational legal document that states your wishes regarding how your assets should be distributed after your death. It also allows you to name an executor to manage the process.
- Trusts: A trust is a legal entity that holds and manages your assets. Trusts can be used for various purposes, including avoiding probate, providing for minor children, or achieving tax benefits.
- Probate: Probate is the court-supervised process of administering a deceased person’s estate, including settling debts and distributing assets according to their will (or state law if there’s no will).
- Summary Administration: A simplified probate process in Florida available for smaller estates.
- Determining Homestead: Florida has unique homestead laws that protect your primary residence from certain creditors. Estate planning helps ensure these protections are in place for your family.
