In Florida, having an original will does not avoid probate; in fact, a will is a document that instructs the probate court on how to distribute assets. While the original will is essential to streamline the court-supervised process, only tools like revocable living trusts, joint ownership, or beneficiary designations can completely bypass probate.

**Key Points on Florida Wills and Probate***
Original Needed: Florida courts typically require the original, signed will to be filed. A copy makes probate much more complex, requiring additional procedures to prove its validity.

Will vs. Probate: A will guarantees that the estate will pass through the court process (probate) to settle debts and transfer assets.

Alternatives to Avoid Probate: To avoid probate entirely in Florida, assets should be placed in a revocable living trust.

Other Methods:
Joint Ownership: Property held as "joint tenants with right of survivorship" (JTWROS) or "tenants by the entirety" (for spouses).

Beneficiary Designations: "Pay on death" (POD) or "transfer on death" (TOD) bank accounts, and life insurance policies.

Lady Bird Deeds: A special type of deed used to transfer real estate upon death.

Small Estates: If the estate value is under $75,000, a "Summary Administration" may be used, which is a faster form of probate.

We speak a lot about Estate Planning Packages and the importance of having your affairs in order. Clients receive FIVE documents in the package but what do they do?

1. Living Will - also known as an advance directive, that outlines your preferences for medical treatment, such as life-prolonging procedures, feeding tubes, and ventilation, if you become incapacitated with a terminal condition, end-stage condition, or persistent vegetative state.

2. Durable Power of Attorney - allows a principal to appoint an agent to manage financial/legal affairs, remaining effective even if the principal becomes incapacitated.

3. Health Care Surrogate - a person you authorize to make medical decisions for you when you are unable to make your own decisions.

4. Pre-needed Guardian - (Declaration of Pre-Need Guardian) is a legal document allowing competent adults to pre-select who will serve as their guardian (or guardian for their minor children) if they become incapacitated, ensuring loved ones manage personal/financial affairs without court intervention.

5. Last Will & Testament - outlines asset distribution, guardianship for minors, and executor nomination upon your passing.

If you would like to talk to Attorney Lee about an Estate Planning Package, she is now offering 15 minute complimentary calls. Call & book your session today! (727) 853 - 1200.

Our office will be closed today in observance of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Day. We encourage everyone to take this day to reflect on Dr. King’s extraordinary legacy of courage, compassion, and service. His vision of equality and his belief in the power of community continue to guide and inspire me in the work I do each and every day.

“The moral arc of the universe is long, but it bends towards justice”. -Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

What Happens If You Die Without a Will in Florida?

If you pass away without a valid will, Florida's intestate succession laws take over, and a court decides who gets your property—not you.

This state-mandated formula might not reflect your actual wishes, potentially causing stress, conflict, and financial difficulties for your loved ones. For example, your spouse might not automatically inherit everything if you have children from a previous relationship.
Estate planning isn't just for the wealthy or the elderly. It's about protecting your family and ensuring your legacy is handled according to your wishes.

📋 Take control of your future: Contact Attorney Lee today to draft a will or trust and provide peace of mind for your family.
