What Is Estate Planning? Everyone has an “estate.” Everything you own form part of your estate: Investments, Furniture your home, your car, any other real estate you may have including saving accounts, life insurance, and personal belongings. It’s a good idea for people of all ages to have an estate plan. An estate plan is simply a properly executed record of how you would like your property to be distributed after your death. If you die without an estate plan, your property with be distributed based on the Florida laws of intestacy, and that might not be what you would have wanted. For example, if you have no close relatives, your property might go to a cousin you don’t even like, rather than a close friend you might have chosen. People put off making an estate plan because they think they need to pay thousands of dollars to hire a lawyer. You can save a great deal of money by acting as your own attorney and enlisting the assistance of an experienced Florida estate planning document preparer to help you. LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT The most basic element of an estate plan is a Last Will and Testament. This document will detail exactly how you would like your personal property (car, furniture, music collection, artwork, etc.) to be distributed upon your death. You can be as specific as you’d like. You can give your Bob Dylan records to your niece, Shari, who collects old vinyl and your vegan cookbooks to Sally, your college roommate. You can cut somebody out of your Will if you’d like. It’s your property and your right to distribute it as you please. It’s important to ensure that the Will is valid. There is a great deal of information available online about how to draft and execute a Will in Florida, so it is often done by individuals without a lawyer. When drafting your own Will without an attorney, it’s helpful to enlist the assistance of an experienced Florida estate planning document preparer. GUARDIANS FOR CHILDREN AND ADVANCED DIRECTIVES In addition to distribution of property, an estate plan can state your wishes in other areas. If a parent dies or becomes incapacitated, leaving minor children, the court will make the decision about who the guardian will be, but great weight will be given to the wishes of a parent. Advanced directives and powers of attorney can ensure that your healthcare is handled in the manner you choose, should you become unable to make these decisions on your own. AVOIDING PROBATE WITH A REVOCABLE LIVING TRUST A revocable living trust is a type of trust that is often used to transfer assets after a person’s death without the necessity of probate. This type of trust usually has the drafter as trustee, and a successor trustee that will take over upon their death or incapacity. Once the trust is set up, as many assets as possible are transferred into the trust and become the property of the trust, not the drafter. Due to the high rates charged by attorneys for creating trusts, many people are using the ample information available to create trusts on their own with the assistance of an experienced Florida estate planning document preparer. A LIVING WILL This legal document will outline your wishes about emergency treatments. In your living will, you can specify what you’d want, what you don’t want, and under which conditions your selection applies. A DURABLE POWER OF ATTORNEY This legal document names someone that you trust to make medical decisions for you if and when you are unable to do so. The person you name must be familiar with your wishes. It might be restrictive to put too many health care directives in writing. Some people feel it is impossible to plan for every scenario. You can still have a living will, but a durable power of attorney should be designated to someone you trust explicitly to carry out. It is the best option to have both of these documents. OTHER ADVANCE HEALTH CARE PLANNING DOCUMENTS CAN INCLUDE: Your final wishes about single medical issues such as blood transfusions or kidney dialysis; You can have a “Do Not Resuscitate” order; and/or other end-of-life final arrangements such as your feelings about organ donation. The main advantage of a health care directive is that you can say precisely what your wishes are. If you made no plans, the State of Florida (or the State where you reside) would assign someone who will make decisions on your behalf. It will probably be your spouse or your children. It can be a heavy burden on someone who does not know what you would have wanted in a traumatic time. South Florida Legal Doc Prep Services, LLC provides reasonably priced services you can afford.
