For most revocable living trusts, the trust maker also acts as the trustee while they are alive. In a joint marital living trust, both spouses are generally co-trustees; when the first spouse dies or becomes incapacitated, the surviving spouse acts as sole trustee. It’s important to consult an experienced estate planning attorney to discuss how to best choose a successor trustee, which person or institution is to take over the trust after the second spouse dies. This is one of the most important decisions you will face in creating a comprehensive estate plan. Call today for a complimentary estate planning consultation 561-206-4245.

An interest in a business is an asset that can and in all likelihood should be transferred to your revocable trust.

Online/digital assets like your are just as important as your other assets like your bank account for purposes of planning who should get or what should happen to these if you become incapacitated or pass away.

Much like an architect, most people know what their overall goals are, but rely on an architect's expertise to design tailored plans in a manner that best achieves the goals. An estate planning lawyer will listen to your goals- whether it's protecting minor children from inheriting it all too fast too soon, caring for dependents w/special needs, protecting your assets from creditors at your death, etc. & design an estate plan that ensures your wishes, while advising you on what the law in your specific state allows and the various options you have of achieving your goals.

Most DIY websites or template:
(1) may or may not account for the laws, requirements, & limitations of your specific state,
(2) may or may not account for how much you know & the implications of your choices, and
(3) while it might be cheaper to create, it may end up costing your loved ones much more in the end if it's even found to be valid.

Seems counterintuitive, but prenups & postnups actually save marriages & relationships. A prenup is established in anticipation of a marriage & a postnup is established while you are already married. Both achieve the same purpose. Divorces can drag out for years in court. Whereas if you do some pre planning via a prenup or postnup, your divorce can be an open & shut matter, saving you thousands in attorney’s fees. They are private documents that you stash away & only come to light once you decide to divorce. Call today to discuss how a spousal agreement can help you 561-206-4245.

If you die without an estate plan, in order for your assets to be released to your heirs, your family has to hire an attorney & open a “probate” with the court. It costs $$$, far more than you would spend on an estate plan to begin with, as the court costs are based on the value of your assets. It takes a long time & it makes all your personal finances public record. An estate plan on the other hand, is a one-time investment to set up (fee is not based on your net worth) & it keeps the court out of your affairs when the time comes. Call today to discuss how an estate plan will save your loved ones time & money 561-206-4245.

A power of attorney is one cornerstone of your estate plan. I like to refer it to it as part of your lifetime documents because in Florida it’s effective as soon as you sign it & can be used for the duration of your lifetime. My clients that travel often find this tool very useful in that their named agent can engage in transactions on their behalf while they’re away, especially for time sensitive matters that would otherwise require their presence. It’s also a tool that would serve you well if you ever became incapacitated, in which case your trusted agent would have the authority to make financial and/or medical decisions for your benefit. Lastly, I find it of particular benefit for parents w/young adult children, especially those away in college. If your children ever found themselves in a situation where they couldn’t handle their own affairs, a parent as their agent under a POA could step in & manage their affairs. This becomes especially important in finance now that your new adult child has a credit history to protect from bad choices that you can potentially help them fix if you had the legal authority to act on their behalf. Call today to learn how a POA can help you and your family 561-206-4245.
