Frequently Asked Questions About Florida Wills and Testaments

Do I need a will?
A will protects your property and can be especially helpful if you want to distribute your property to people other than your relatives. Without a will, state law dictates the distribution of your property. The default plan normally distributes property to relatives.

Is it necessary for a lawyer to draft my will?
While it may seem straightforward for you to draft your will yourself, personally drafted wills tend to be incomplete and are, therefore, invalid under state law. An attorney familiar with your specific state laws can legally draft a will that is valid under your state’s law.

Can you contest a will or trust?
Yes, when the person who wrote the will or trust was forced, deceived, mentally incompetent or unduly influenced.
