Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is the difference between a will and a trust?: A: A will is a legal document that outlines how your assets will be distributed after your death. A trust, on the other hand, is a legal entity that holds and manages assets for the benefit of specific individuals or entities. While a will goes into effect only after death, a trust can be effective during your lifetime, allowing for more flexibility and control over your assets.
Q: How often should I review or update my estate plan?: A: It’s advisable to review your estate plan every 3-5 years or whenever there are significant changes in your life, such as marriage, divorce, the birth of a child, a substantial change in assets, or changes in the law that may affect your estate planning strategy.
Q: Can I create a will or trust on my own, or do I need an attorney?: A: While it’s possible to create a will or trust using online tools or templates, working with an experienced estate planning attorney ensures that the documents are legally valid, tailored to your specific situation, and aligned with current laws. An attorney can also provide guidance on complex issues and help you avoid common pitfalls.
Q: What happens if I die without a will?: A: If you die without a will (intestate), your assets will be distributed according to Florida’s intestacy laws. This may not align with your wishes and can lead to unintended consequences for your loved ones. Creating a will ensures that your assets are distributed according to your preferences.
Q: What is probate, and how can I avoid it?: A: Probate is the legal process of validating a will and distributing assets according to the will’s instructions. It can be time-consuming and costly. Creating a trust, designating beneficiaries on certain accounts, and owning property jointly with rights of survivorship are some strategies that may help you avoid or minimize probate.
Q: How can I protect my assets from creditors or lawsuits?: A: Asset protection strategies can help shield your assets from potential creditors or legal claims. This may include creating specific types of trusts, utilizing legal entities like LLCs, or taking advantage of exemptions under Florida law. An experienced estate planning attorney can help you design a strategy that fits your needs and complies with the law.
Q: Can I include charitable giving in my estate plan?: A: Yes, charitable giving can be an integral part of your estate plan. You can make charitable gifts through your will, trust, or other planned giving vehicles. This not only supports causes you care about but may also provide tax benefits.

“I don’t think words can adequately express my appreciation to Michael Katz. Michael is very knowledgeable and professional but equally as important is his patience and willingness to listen. I left knowing that his goal was to provide me with not only the best advice and services possible but also the much needed peace of mind. He accomplished all those goals and for that I am very grateful. I highly recommend Katz & Associates Law Firm and wish I could assign more than 5 stars. They are excellent!!” – Tilly Gurley
