Did You Move To Florida From Another State Or Country?
If you moved from another state or country and had your will or estate plan done there, it must be recreated in compliance with Florida law.
When Is The Best Time To Do Your Will Or Estate Plan?
The best time to plan your estate is now. Roughly 70% of Americans die intestate, which means dying without leaving a will or trust. Without a trust, all the decisions about who distributes your assets and how they are distributed are made by the legal system, a court-appointed executor, and a judge.
What Is Estate Planning?
Your estate is any assets you own, such as your home, car, insurance policies, and personal belongings. However, estate planning is more than planning for what happens to your assets in case of your death. Estate planning also plans for child custody arrangements, as well as healthcare and financial agreements in case you’re disabled and unable to make decisions anymore.
Estate planning sets out what you wish for your future, your family’s future, and your estate’s future. Don’t wait until you reach a specific age. Estate planning is ideal for anyone, whether you’re single, newly wed, middle-aged, or retired.
