Frequently Asked Estate Planning Questions

We understand that estate planning can bring up many questions and concerns. To help you navigate this important process, we’ve compiled a list of frequently asked questions to provide clarity and assist you in making informed decisions.

How often should I update my estate plan?

It is recommended to update your estate plan every three to five years, or whenever you experience a significant life event. Changes such as marriage, divorce, the birth or adoption of a child, significant changes in your financial situation, moving to a new state, or the death of a named beneficiary or executor can all necessitate a review and update of your plan. Regular updates ensure that your estate plan reflects your current wishes and provides the best protection for your loved ones.

Who needs an estate plan in Florida?

Everyone can benefit from having an estate plan, regardless of their age or financial situation. An estate plan is particularly crucial for individuals with complex needs, such as business owners, parents of minor children or those with significant assets. Without an estate plan or will in place, Florida’s intestacy laws will determine how your assets are distributed, which may not align with your wishes. This can lead to lengthy probate processes, potential disputes among heirs and unintended beneficiaries. Having a comprehensive estate plan ensures that your wishes are honored, your loved ones are protected and your business interests are safeguarded.

Does my business need a business succession plan?

Yes, having a business succession plan is essential for ensuring the continuity and stability of your business. A business succession plan outlines how your business will be transferred or managed in the event of your retirement, incapacity or death. Without a succession plan, your business may face operational disruptions, legal complications or even the risk of closure. A well-crafted succession plan can help you designate a successor, outline clear procedures for transition and ensure that your business legacy is preserved. It’s a critical component of comprehensive estate planning for any business owner.
