What is an estate plan? An estate plan consists of the legal documents that state how you and your property are treated in life and distributed at death.  An estate plan – even if it’s just a will and living will – is a necessity for everyone regardless of wealth.  Under Florida law, your estate consists of your home or real estate, personal property such as cars, furniture, and jewelry, and other property, such as insurance, bank accounts, stocks, and social security benefits.  But that’s just the start.  A good estate plan will consider both life and death issues.  This will make the process easier for your family and give you security in knowing how things will be handled in your absence.  Some of the issues your legal plan should consider include:

  • How your children, reliant family members, or pets would be taken care of in your absence;
  • Who will make medical and financial decisions for you if you are incapacitated;
  • Whether you want to leave anything to friends, charities, family members, and anyone else who will not receive an inheritance under state law;
  • Who will run your business;
  • What life saving techniques and medical care would be taken to save your life;
  • Who will be in charge of carrying out your wishes.
