It’s Always Best to be Proactive Rather Than Reactive.
As we age, there are numerous things to consider, not only for ourselves but our families. By planning today, we can ensure things are easier for ourselves and our families in the future. Don’t let everything you’ve worked for just slip away due to a lack of proper planning. Invest the time now to learn your options by speaking with one of our Florida Elder Law lawyers and making the choices that protect your legacy.
Will
- A legal document that specifies how a person’s assets and property should be distributed after their death.
- Must go through Probate, then becomes part of the public record
- Effective upon death and only long enough to make a one-time distribution to your beneficiaries
Florida living will
- Legal document that states whether someone wants to be on devices to prolong their life, provided they meet any of the three conditions:
1) Terminal condition
2) End-stage condition
3) Persistent vegetative state - Removes the burden of deciding our healthcare and end-of-life wishes from your family members
Revocable living trust
- A legal agreement in which one person holds onto assets or property for the benefit of another person
- When properly funded, assets avoid Probate
- Can be used to manage assets for minors should something happen to their guardian
- Only the beneficiaries know the contents of the Trust
- Can be revised or revoked anytime during your lifetime
Irrevocable trust
- Legal agreement in which the trust creator gives ownership of their assets to a trustee who manages those assets for the trust beneficiaries.
- When properly funded, assets avoid Probate
- Protects assets against creditors, lawsuits, taxes, Long-Term Care costs, or other threats
- Only the beneficiaries know the contents of the Trust
- Can not be removed or revoked once funded
As life goes on, things change – and your will and trust likely need to change also.
It’s important to review and update your trust and will periodically, or whenever an important life event occurs, such as a birth, death, marriage or divorce.
