What Are Wills & Trusts?

Wills

A will is a legal document that outlines how your assets will be distributed after your death. It also allows you to designate guardians for minor children, specify your burial or cremation preferences, and name an executor to manage your estate. Without a valid will, your estate will be distributed according to Florida’s intestacy laws, which may not align with your wishes.

Trusts

A trust is a legal arrangement where you transfer assets to a trustee to manage on behalf of your beneficiaries. Trusts can be customized to achieve various goals, such as avoiding probate, reducing estate taxes, or providing for minor children or individuals with special needs. There are many types of trusts, including revocable living trusts, irrevocable trusts, and special needs trusts, each designed to meet specific estate planning objectives.

Benefits of Wills & Trusts

Control Over Asset Distribution

Ensure your property is distributed exactly as you intend.

Avoiding Probate

Trusts allow assets to pass directly to beneficiaries without the delays and costs of probate.

Protecting Loved Ones

Provide for your family, including minor children and dependents, in a structured and secure manner.

Minimizing Estate Taxes

Certain trusts can help reduce the tax burden on your estate.

Planning for Incapacity

Trusts can include provisions for managing your assets if you become unable to do so.

Frequently Asked Questions About Wills & Trusts

It depends on your circumstances. While a will is essential for everyone, a trust can offer additional benefits, such as avoiding probate or providing for minor children. Our attorneys can help determine what’s right for you.

Yes, you should review and update your estate plan regularly, especially after major life events like marriage, divorce, or the birth of a child. Our team can assist with revisions to ensure your documents remain valid and effective.

Without a will, Florida’s intestacy laws will determine how your assets are distributed, which may not reflect your wishes. This process can also lead to delays and potential disputes among your heirs.

I could not be happier with the legal representation provided by Travis Stulz with BCN. He was knowledgeable, personable and understood the stress and pain I was experiencing, and made me feel valued and supported throughout the entire process. His paralegal Sandra P. was fantastic. She was exceptionally prompt in returning phone calls, texts and emails, and kept me consistently updated on my case. Thank you both for your help and support.

BCN was a God send. Although I’m married, my husband did not file. We had to go through the means test which was stressful but Ms. Carol handled it efficiently and with kindness. I never was made to feel bad for filing for bankruptcy. I was again nervous when it came time for my meeting of the creditors but again, Ms. Carol was so incredibly supportive. I should also mention that BCN is a well seasoned law firm and should you find yourself in need of their services, you will not regret your decision.

We were recently in an accident and needed an attorney. A good friend referred us to Travis Stulz and the BCN team. Travis and his Paralegal Sandy Patercsak were absolutely amazing. We felt they were very responsive and genuinely cared about us and how we were doing after the accident. I would highly recommend them to anyone who needs a great attorney who really cares about their clients.
