As a Florida estate planning lawyer and probate attorney serving The Villages area, we have seen it all.  There are many reasons why you might not wish for your assets to end up in a dispute.  Having a qualified Florida estate planning attorney handle your will and Trust, an estate plan is the best way to ensure your assets do not end up in probate and your final wishes are carried out.

We are continuing our series on why you should hire a Florida estate planning attorney to prepare your will, Trust and estate plan.  Our previous articles covered how an estate planning attorney can make sure your plan is complete, accurate and applicable to state laws.  We also discussed how an estate planning attorney can account for changing circumstances and ensure your plan is properly executed.  Today, we will cover two more reasons to consider engaging an estate planning attorney.

All Assets May Not Be Accounted For in a DIY Plan

An estate planning attorney can make sure all of your assets are accounted for and also set up a trust to help your heirs avoid needing to engage a probate attorney. Your “trust” must include certain steps such as transferring title of your assets and property into the name of the trust and then accounting for additional real estate, financial accounts, etc. you may acquire before you die.

Will to Charity

You may wish to leave some of your assets to one or more charities.  A Florida estate planning attorney knows the best way to leave money to charity and can set that up for you in your estate plan.
