Why You Need a Will Attorney in St. Augustine
If you pass away without executing a valid will, you’ll be considered to have passed away “intestate.” When a person passes away intestate in Florida, the decedent’s previous statements or intentions regarding the distribution of their property may not be followed under intestacy laws. This means the decedent’s estate may be distributed to someone other than who the decedent truly wanted their assets to go to. Similarly, a self-written or form-filled will causes problems since they often omit key provisions or fail to account for complex legal rules that can limit the intended effect of the will.
An intestate person’s property that’s not jointly owned with another living person will be disposed of per the provisions of Florida Statute §732.101-§732.901. In most cases, this distributes the assets to the surviving spouse, or to the decedent’s descendants. Certain life events can also drastically alter the validity and effect of a previously drafted will, making periodic will updates essential.
When you work with a professional wills lawyer, you can rest easy knowing your will is well-drafted and up-to-date so your estate and family will be protected.
We believe you and your family deserve peace of mind about the future, and our will attorneys in St. Augustine can help you get it. To ensure your property is in fact distributed to your intended beneficiaries upon your death, it’s critical to work with one of our experienced wills lawyers.
