Revocable & Irrevocable Trusts in Florida
Revocable and Irrevocable Trusts are powerful estate planning tools that allow you to manage your assets, avoid probate, and protect your estate according to your specific goals.
For individuals and families in Florida, trusts offer flexibility, control, and long-term protection that go beyond what a simple will can provide.
Understanding Trusts in Florida Estate Planning
A trust is a legal arrangement in which assets are held and managed for the benefit of one or more beneficiaries. Depending on the type of trust, you may retain control during your lifetime or establish protections that continue after your passing.
Trusts are commonly used in Florida to:
Avoid or simplify probate
Maintain privacy for your estate
Manage assets during incapacity
Protect beneficiaries and long-term wealth
Revocable Living Trusts
A Revocable Living Trust allows you to maintain full control of your assets during your lifetime while providing a clear plan for management and distribution after your death.
Benefits of a revocable trust include:
Avoiding probate for assets held in the trust
Flexibility to amend or revoke the trust at any time
Continuity of asset management if you become incapacitated
Simplified administration for your beneficiaries
Revocable trusts are commonly used as the foundation of a comprehensive Florida estate plan.
Irrevocable Trusts
An Irrevocable Trust is designed to provide stronger asset protection and long-term planning benefits. Once established, the terms generally cannot be changed.
