florida estate planning guide: The Ultimate Guide to Comprehensive Estate Planning in Florida Horacio Sosa, 2020-03-28 This book provides a comprehensive overview of what Florida residents should consider when thinking about estate planning. The concept, estate planning, is typically thought as death planning or tax planning. This approach may have been useful many years ago when life expectancy was short or the estate tax exemption was low. Today we live longer and estate taxes rarely affect 99% of the population. Therefore, when we talk about estate planning today the focus is more on control of our assets, incapacity planning, accessing to government benefits that may help with long term care planning, ensuring that our money will help us have a decent lifestyle, and eventually plan to leave a legacy to our children. This book covers the basic concepts such as wills, trusts, power of attorney, etc., how to prepare for an estate planning consultation, what you need to know about costs, and then explains concepts such as probate, guardianships, special needs trusts, Medicaid and Veterans Administration benefits that may help pay for long term care costs. The book is an essential reading to prepare to effectively discuss your plan of action with your trusted advisors. We hope you enjoy reading as we did preparing it. |

florida estate planning guide: The Complete Guide to Planning Your Estate in Florida Linda C. Ashar, Sandy Ann Baker, 2011 What happens to your estate after you are gone is very much within your control. Estate planning is not only for the wealthy; it is for everyone. It is simply the process of deciding where your assets are to be distributed after your death. For those people who wish to preserve their assets for designated purposes such as family or special charities it becomes necessary to make special advance preparations. To ensure your assets are protected and final wishes are carried out, there are some common actions that should be taken now. Proper estate planning allows you to plan for yourself and your loved ones without giving up control of your affairs. Your estate plan should also allow for the possibility of your own disability. It should detail what you own and whom you want to leave it to at a time of your choosing and the way you want. Your estate plan should include fully disclosed, controlled costs for you and your loved ones. The last thing you want to worry about is having your estate drained of value through taxes and legal costs. The right plan can protect the value of your estate and spare your loved ones unnecessary hassles and legal conflicts. The Complete Guide to Planning Your Estate in Florida will help you glide through this complicated process. This new book has been adapted to offer Florida residents state-specific advice for estate planning. Author Linda C. Ashar, Attorney at Law, has crafted an estate planning primer, allowing Florida residents to become more informed and more involved during the process. Many books on estate planning indicate you do not need the services of an attorney, but this book highly recommends using an attorney versed in this area: You should not go through the process alone. This book is intended explain the complicated issues, terminology, and planning strategies of estate planning so when you do meet with a qualified attorney, you will be well prepared. You will understand the legal terms and be ready to discuss issues and strategies with familiarity, saving you time and legal fees and ensuring peace of mind. Florida-specific information is offered throughout this book, including: Florida''s probate code; Florida rules, regulations, and laws specific to estate planning; elements of a valid Florida will; planning your living will in Florida; explanations of Florida laws regarding durable health care power of attorneys, do not resuscitate (DNR) orders, and directives to withhold CPR. The book''s easy-to-understand context clarifies this complicated and sensitive subject and gives readers the power to take control of their future. This book also offers an overview of abatement rules, settlement costs, guardianship and minor children, executors and trustees, life insurance, potential long-term care needs, marital deductions, types of trusts, gift splitting, survivorship deeds, 529 plans, reducing or eliminating estate taxes, avoiding tax on life insurance, using insurance to pay estate taxes, gift tax issues, generation skipping transfer tax, and tax-deferred accounts. Estate planning should be a positive experience. It involves reviewing your situation and planning for your future. Although few people want to think about the possibility of disability or disease, advance planning is also a way to show your love and to reduce potential distress later. Other books offer a non-state-specific overview of estate planning, causing many readers to be misinformed about rules and regulations particular to their state; but, this new book provides information Florida residents need to know.

florida estate planning guide: Ettinger on Elder Law Estate Planning Michael Ettinger, 2010 Elder Law Estate Planning is a niche area of law which combines the features of elder law and estate planning that pertain most to the needs of the middle class. In 1991, AARP published a Consumer Report on Probate concluding that probate was a process to be avoided. That marked the end of traditional will planning and started the living trust revolution. Since then, millions of people have set up trusts to: * Save time and money in settling the estate * Avoid legal guardianship if they become disabled * Avoid having their personal and financial matters made public * Reduce the chance of a will contest * Keep control in the family and out of the court system By 1990, the field of elder law also emerged to help people navigate the increased complexity of state Medicaid rules and regulations, the soaring costs of nursing home stays, and the fact that people were living considerably longer. Elder law and estate planning continue to grow independently of each other, sometimes to the detriment of clients. Estate planning lawyers are of little value when the estate plan to avoid probate fails to prevent a nursing home stay consuming all of the assets, because the lawyer is unfamiliar with elder law. On the other hand, elder law attorneys often protect assets but overlook basic estate planning issues such as saving taxes and keeping assets in the blood. The practice of Elder Law Estate Planning means: * Getting your assets to your heirs, in the best possible way, with least amount of taxes and legal fees * Keeping those assets in the blood for your grandchildren, and * Protecting your assets from the costs of long-term care and qualifying for government benefits available to pay for care. Middle class clients today need an elder law estate planning attorney to address their estate planning needs as well as to help with long-term care, disability and Medicaid issues as they arise. |
