Do you have an estate plan for your family?

What is estate planning?

Estate plans are designed to protect you and your family if you become incapacitated and when you die.


Most people think of the following set of documents when they think of estate plans:


Wills: a will is a document which lets the court(s) know who you're leaving your assets to, who you want to appoint to manage those assets during the process with the court, who your family members are, and who you would like to take care of your children if you have minor children in place. Wills that are not executed properly, or which are drafted improperly can result in your assets passing pursuant to Florida Statutes (intestacy laws), rather than how you'd prefer.


Trusts: a trust can be thought of as a private entity in which assets are placed before your death and which will then transfer assets to designated loved ones when you die. Trusts are very complex agreements which require the appointment of one or more trustees, designation of beneficiaries, and most importantly funding with assets. Trusts that are validly created and properly funded can help you and your family avoid guardianship and probate litigation, two very expensive and time consuming court processes used to transfer and use assets.


Living Wills: not to be confused with a Will, this is an agreement which is created to inform health care providers of actions that are acceptable to a person when they are facing a terminal, end stage, or persistent vegetative state. This can avoid costly litigation, like the Terry Schiavo case in the 90s.


Advance Health Care Directives: synonymous with Living Wills, these allow you to make extensive directives about pain treatment, feeding tubes, end of life care, organ donation, blood transfusions and other health care conditions that matter to you.


Health Care Agent Appointments: You can appoint one or more persons to be the decision maker for your health care if you are unable to make decisions, whether it is due to illness, injury, or other incapacitation. This saves from costly guardianship litigation and can be the difference between life and death in urgent health matters.


Powers of Attorney: (POA) A POA is an agreement that allows you to appoint one or more people to take actions on your behalf, whether you are able to or not, for everything from your property, assets, financials, life insurance, annuities, investments, employment, and sometimes even your business matters. POAs can be Special, and grant only limited powers such as for a real estate closing, or they can be General and help prevent costly guardianship litigation if you become incapacitated.


While the above documents are essential in comprehensive estate planning, they alone do not guarantee your plan will be implemented successfully. That is why our plans include providing information to your appointees about their roles, continued education on tax and planning matters, an updated inventory of your assets for your loved ones to have when the time comes, legacy interviews so that your memories, values, and stories pass on, kids protection plans, and so much more.

What is the Cost of Not Having an Estate Plan?

 Did you know that there is 2 billion in Florida's unclaimed assets registry thanks to many many families not being able to afford the probate process? Did you know that estate planning is a fraction of that cost?  www.lcolawfl.com 813-480-2309 Contact legaladmin@lcolawfl.com to schedule your two hour Legacy Wealth Planning session. Mention this video for a chance to get this session at no cost to you! 

Will you let CPS take YOUR Children when something happens to you?

Your children need you. You're their provider. Their example. Their leader. They need you to step up and make sure that if you're not there, they'll have someone there you trust, they trust, and they KNOW. That's why parents need to designate short term and long term guardians for their children.  www.lcolawfl.com 813-480-2309 Contact legaladmin@lcolawfl.com to schedule your two hour Legacy Wealth Planning session.

Who can and will take care of you and your family if you become incapacitated?

 If you think that Incapacitation only happens to the elderly, then you, like most of us, are living with the false sense that your're invincible. While that would be great, the reality is that, any of us can become incapacitated. If you are incapacitated you can't run your business, your business cannot grow, and your business is left prey to other decision makers.
