PROTECTING INHERITANCES WITH A WILL

Florida residents typically have a variety of reasons to start thinking about estate planning. For some, the decision is made early on as they go about getting married, buying a home and starting families. For others, the decision to have an estate plan crafted occurs later in life, and they want to ensure that the estate and assets they leave behind are a positive inheritance for heirs.

Protecting inheritances is an important goal with estate planning. For most people, the first step is to have a will drafted. However, this isn't always an easy task, no matter how important it is. Florida residents who are going to have a will drafted have many different decisions to make, and they may need to have important conversations with family members and friends about what will happen when the will comes into play.

For starters, one of the most important aspects of a will is naming a guardian for any minor children. This can be a very important decision, as it can be difficult to envision a scenario in which the children are left without their parents and must be raised by someone else. However, the decision must be made by many people in the estate planning process, which makes it even more important to protect inheritances for the children who would be left behind.
