Florida Estate Law guides

All law guides →

Plain-English guides to the law. General information, not legal advice.

Asset Protection Planning in Florida

Florida asset protection involves layering — exemption planning, business entities, retirement accounts, and (for some) Domestic Asset Protection Trusts (DAPTs) in DAPT-friendly states.

Blended Family Estate Planning in Florida

Florida blended families need careful estate planning to avoid disinheriting biological children when surviving spouse remarries — QTIP trusts, life insurance, and specific structures address the conflict.

Business Succession Planning in Florida

Florida business succession requires coordinated estate + business planning — buy-sell agreements, life insurance funding, key-person insurance, and gradual transition plans. Without it, families lose businesses to taxes, disputes, or chaos.

Charitable Trusts in Florida

Florida charitable trusts combine philanthropy with tax planning. Charitable Remainder Trusts (CRTs) and Charitable Lead Trusts (CLTs) provide income / estate / gift tax benefits.

Digital-Asset Estate Planning in Florida

Florida digital-asset planning is governed by RUFADAA (adopted in 48 states) — fiduciaries can access digital accounts only if user explicitly consented. Without planning, families lose access to email, photos, crypto, and online accounts.

Spouse's Elective Share in Florida

Florida elective share: 30% of elective estate (a uniform-act-style augmented estate).

Estate-Tax Planning in Florida

Florida estates may face federal estate tax (40% above ~$13.99M / individual in 2025) plus state estate or inheritance tax — most estates use lifetime gifting + trusts to minimize tax.

Guardianship and Conservatorship in Florida

Florida guardianship cases — for minors, incapacitated adults, or both — are heard in Circuit Court (Probate Division). Process requires petition, evaluation, hearing, ongoing reporting.

Healthcare Directives in Florida

Florida healthcare directives: Living Will + Healthcare Surrogate Designation.

Heirs' Property in Florida

Florida heirs' property — land passed without a will or proper estate planning, owned by multiple heirs as tenants-in-common — has caused significant land loss in Black + low-income families. UPHPA partition reform helps.

Intestate Succession in Florida: What Happens If You Die Without a Will

If you die in Florida without a will, the state's intestate succession law decides who gets what — not you. Spouse takes everything if all kids are joint children.

Living Trusts in Florida

A revocable living trust avoids probate, maintains privacy, and lets you control how your assets pass at death. Estates with non-homestead real estate; out-of-state property; complex family situations typically benefit most.
