Frequently Asked Questions
-
It depends on your assets, family situation, and whether avoiding probate matters to you. Many Florida families do well with a will-based plan; others benefit from a revocable living trust or a Lady Bird deed. We recommend only what your situation actually calls for.
-
A Florida deed that lets your home pass directly to your chosen beneficiaries at death without probate, while you keep full control during your lifetime. It is one of the most cost-effective planning tools available to Florida homeowners.
-
Yes, and this is one of our focus areas. Non-citizen spouses and green card holders have special planning considerations, and we build plans that account for them.
-
Review it after any major life change: marriage, divorce, a new child, a move to or from Florida, a significant asset change, or a change in immigration status. Otherwise, a check every three to five years is a good rhythm.
