Frequently Asked Questions

Is probate required in Florida?

Florida generally requires probate to transfer assets held solely in a decedent's name without a beneficiary designation. Formal administration is common, though summary administration may be available for smaller estates. Trusts can help avoid probate.

Is there an estate tax in Florida?

Florida has no state estate or inheritance tax. Large estates may still be subject to the federal estate tax.

Should I use a trust in Florida?

A revocable living trust can help Florida residents avoid probate, maintain privacy, and manage assets if they become incapacitated. Firms like Legacy Protection Lawyers and Mary King P.L. handle trust planning.

How do I choose a Florida estate planning attorney?

Identify your needs (planning, probate, or both), then compare firms by location and focus area. Contact a few for consultations to discuss your goals and fees.
