WHY ESTATE PLANNING MATTERS IN FLORIDA

  • Avoid Probate & Protect Privacy
    Trusts and proper structuring help keep your affairs out of probate court.

  • Prevent Family Disputes & Legal Burdens
    Clear documentation minimizes stress and disagreement during emotional times.

  • Protect Against Incapacity-Related Challenges
    Documents like powers of attorney and health directives ensure your wishes are honored without court-appointed guardianship.

COMMON SERVICES AT A GLANCE

  • Last Will & Testament — Clearly spells out how and to whom your assets should go, and names guardians for minors.

  • Revocable (Living) Trust — Helps your estate avoid probate and gives you flexibility and control during and after your lifetime.

  • Financial & Health Care Powers of Attorney — Appoint someone to make decisions for you if you’re incapacitated, bypassing guardianship proceedings.

  • Advance Health Care Directive (Living Will) — Specifies your medical care preferences to prevent confusion in crisis situations.

  • Designation of Preneed Guardian — Secure the future of minor or incapacitated dependents by naming a guardian in advance.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

  • How often should I update my estate plan?
    Life changes like marriage, new children, or relocation can affect your estate plan—experts recommend reviewing documents every 3–5 years.

  • Can a trust really help avoid probate in Florida?
    Yes—a revocable living trust allows assets to pass to beneficiaries outside of probate, preserving privacy and speed.

  • What if I don’t have documents like POAs or living wills?
    Without them, courts may appoint a guardian—something most people prefer to avoid. It’s safer to set these in place proactively.

Naming Guardians for Your Children

One of the most important decisions in estate planning is choosing who will care for your minor children if something happens to you. In Florida, you can ensure your wishes are respected by naming a guardian through your will or a designation of preneed guardian.

At Goebel Law, PLLC, we help parents:

  • Select trusted guardians who share your values and parenting style

  • Put legal documents in place to prevent court disputes or uncertainty

  • Establish financial safeguards (via trusts) so your children’s needs are fully met

  • Plan for contingencies, such as backup guardians if your first choice is unavailable

Without a legally documented guardian, the court decides who will raise your children. By planning ahead, you control this decision—providing your children with stability, love, and security no matter what the future holds.
