Unfortunately, nearly half of all Americans do not have a will, or any other estate planning documents in place at the time of their death. The list of reasons for not preparing important estate planning documents is long and varied. Maybe you just don't want to discuss or even think about death.
Perhaps you feel you are still young and "have time", so you'll get to it tomorrow, or maybe you don't have enough money to worry about it or take action now.Some people put it off because they are married, and believe their spouse gets everything when they die anyways.

In Florida, every personal representative, unless the personal representative remains the sole interested person or is a licensed Florida attorney, shall be represented by an attorney admitted to practice in Florida. There are numerous complex matters that can arise during the administration of an estate.
More and more people in Florida are using trusts to avoid probate. A Florida trust contains the name of the person, a trustee or successor trustee, who will manage the trust if the testator is unable or no longer willing. The trustee, takes control of trust assets upon the death of the person who made the trust.
There are several grounds for which a Florida Will can be contested. In order to contest a Florida Will a formal complaint or objection must be filed in the probate division of the circuit civil court having proper jurisdiction over the Decedent's estate.
The claims against the Will must contain facts which set forth the elements of the various causes of action that a Florida probate judge can rely upon to determine that an executed Will should be set aside, declared invalid and unenforceable, or requires partial revocation.There are crucial filing deadlines associated with the manner in which you contest the Will.

He's handling my family's estate in Florida. I have been calling him from New York sporadically, and he has always returned my calls. What I like most about Chris and Paul is that they are friendly, easy to talk to, with no pressure for an up front retainer fee. Looking forward to meeting both of you on Wednesday.
