Estate PLanning

With the hotbed of litigation that is prevalent in Jacksonville, Florida and society today in general, many wealthy Americans are looking for ways to protect the assets for which they have worked so hard. There are several techniques that are available which are discussed on the pages linked below.

Will:

Sometimes this document is called a Last Will and Testament. A will is a legal document that describes how a person’s property will be distributed at the time of death. When a person dies with a valid Will, the person dies testate.

Should a person die without having a Will, the person dies intestate. When a person dies intestate, state law interpreted by a local probate court will determine what happens to the property and any minor children.
