PROBATE/WILLS & TRUSTS

Probate is the legal process by which assets and debts of decedent are administered. This process involves the opening of an estate which is usually administered by a personal representative. Probate estates could be administered by Summary Administration or Formal Administration in many cases.
A will is a document prepared by to determine how your assets will be disposed after death. It gives you an opportunity to choose whomever you want to give your assets, real and personal to. If you do not have a will and die leaving property, the laws of the state of Florida will control in distributing your assets.
By having a will, you also choose a personal representative to administer your estate.
By having a will, you minimize conflicts and costs, which are sometimes associated with determining beneficiaries and locating them, and also determining assets and their location. Making a will does not mean you are hastening your demise, it only makes good common sense in the right direction.
A trust is a legal entity created by Statute. An individual can set up a trust and transfer property into it. A trustee is then appointed to manage the affairs of the trust. The trustee stands as the fiduciary to the trust beneficiary. The person, who sets up a trust names individuals to benefit from the trust, these individuals are called beneficiaries. The trustee therefore manages the affairs of the trust for the benefit of the beneficiaries and she also holds legal title to the trust assets.

Type of Trust

Living Trust – Set up during one’s lifetime. The person who sets up this kind of trust can also be the trustee and the beneficiary.
Testamentary Trust – This is established by the will and only becomes effective at the death of the person who sets it up.
Revocable Trust – This is a trust that can be changed or amended by the person who sets up the trust.

Creation of a Trust

A trust is created by the owner of property who conveys property into the trust showing a willingness to create a trust.
There are certain elements that have to be present in creating a trust. These are:

• A person who creates a trust must be of sound mind.
