Your out-of-state will may be valid in Florida, but there are important differences in Florida law — including who can serve as your Personal Representative and how Florida's homestead laws affect your property. We recommend having your documents reviewed to ensure they work properly under Florida law.

A will goes through probate court, which takes time, costs money, and becomes public record. A living trust avoids probate entirely, allowing your assets to transfer privately and quickly to your beneficiaries. For most Florida homeowners, a trust is often the better choice.

We use flat-fee pricing so you know exactly what you'll pay upfront — no hourly billing surprises. The cost depends on the complexity of your situation. Contact us for a clear quote during your consultation.

Florida offers strong asset protection tools, including homestead exemptions and certain trust structures. The key is proper planning before any claims arise. We'll analyze your situation and recommend strategies appropriate for your circumstances.

The most effective way to avoid probate is a properly funded living trust. Other options include Lady Bird deeds, beneficiary designations, and joint ownership with rights of survivorship. We'll help you choose the right approach for your assets and family situation.

Most clients complete their entire estate plan within two weeks. After your initial consultation, we typically prepare documents within one week. Then we schedule a signing meeting and begin funding your trust if applicable.
