Orlando Probate and Estate Planning Lawyers

When it comes to planning your estate, the probate and estate planning process go hand in hand. A carefully-drafted Last Will and Testament that is properly signed, witnessed, and notarized is less likely to face disputes during probate. When writing your Last Will and Testament, it can be helpful to have probate lawyers on your side helping you understand how the probate process will authenticate your will and what steps you can take when writing your will to help the process go more smoothly for your family. Modern-day estate planning involves so much more than just writing a will. Many families choose to use trusts to pass assets on to their loved ones because a trust can help your family avoid probate for certain assets, confer tax benefits, and afford a degree of privacy that a will cannot afford. However, each estate planning structure has its limitations and benefits. Contact Legal Counsel, P.A. and speak to our Orlando probate and estate planning lawyers who can assist you. Have questions?
