Plan Ahead With The Help Of Our Estate Lawyers Through Well Prepard Trusts, Wills, & More
You and your Estate Lawyers can work together in order to create the documents you need to ensure a clear division of assets and property. A Will provides the final say on asset division. It requires thorough wording and smooth implementation. Our experienced Estate Lawyers will assure that nothing is overlooked for your wishes to be carried on to your loved ones after death.
A Trust is an active way to have your opinions voiced. This document is particularly important during situations where you are still alive, but are unable to voice any of your wishes such as in the event of a incapacitation. Both wills and trusts allow for your opinions to be understood, and both must have legal overview during drafting to ensure that they are legally legitimate.
Estate Planning and Probate Court
When someone in Miami passes away without leaving behind a will, their estate is classified as “intestate”. The results of an intestate passing include a lack of clear instructions for asset and property division. If this is the case, Florida probate courts will become involved upon petition of any surviving heir or other individual(s) that may claim any right to the estate and such legal proceedings will dictate the divisions by order of court.
Probate court should be avoided due to the tolls it can take on your money, time, and control. When property falls to probate court, the legal system decides on the fair division of property and assets, rather than those decisions falling to your loved ones or friends. Your loved ones’ lack of control will extend the estate delegation timeline and pile up additional legal fees which can lead to loss of property, financial duress, and emotional stress. These problems may easily be avoided if proper documentation is in place that clearly dictates your decisions and avoids unnecessary legal proceedings and the distribution of your assets per your wishes.
