Do I Need An Estate Plan?

An estate plan can help you organize your wishes for your family, property, and future decisions. You may want to discuss estate planning if you:

• Own a home or other property.
• Have children or loved ones you want to provide for.
• Want to identify trusted people to help with financial or healthcare decisions.
• Have experienced changes in your family or financial circumstances.
• Want to understand how wills, trusts, deeds, and other planning documents work together.

Your estate plan should reflect your individual circumstances and goals. Tiffany Oliver, Esq. can explain available planning tools and help you understand your options.

Other Estate Planning Documents 

Last Will & Testament

A last will and testament is part of many estate plans. It can set forth your wishes for how certain property should pass after your death and identify the people you want involved in carrying out those wishes.

For individuals who prefer probate court oversight of estate distribution, a will may serve as a primary planning document. A will does not, by itself, avoid the Florida probate process. It can also address the distribution of personal property. Parents may use appropriate estate-planning documents to express their preference for who should serve as guardian for their minor children.

Tiffany can explain when a will may be beneficial, where it may have limitations, and how it can work alongside trusts, deeds and other estate-planning documents.

Health Care Advance Directives

Advance health care directives can help communicate your preferences about medical care and identify people you trust to assist with health care decisions if you cannot make or communicate those decisions yourself.

These documents may be especially important following a serious injury, incapacity or dementia that affects a person's ability to make decisions. Preparing them in advance, while you have the capacity to make your wishes known, helps ensure those preferences are documented.

Tiffany can explain how health care planning documents may fit alongside your will, trust and other estate-planning tools.

Power of Attorney

A power of attorney allows you to authorize someone you choose to act on your behalf within the authority described in the document. By arranging that authority in advance, you can name a trusted person to handle specified matters if you need assistance.

This planning can help preserve your preferences and independence and may reduce the need for court involvement in some circumstances, although a power of attorney does not eliminate every possibility of court proceedings.

Because the powers granted can be significant, Tiffany explains the document's purpose and scope and helps clients understand whether it fits their broader estate plan.
