About Last Wills and Testaments

A will also referred to as a last will and testament, is a set of instructions that gets left behind to your loved ones after you pass away. This legal document keeps your family and property protected and reflects your exact instructions including the following:

 

  • How do you want your assets distributed;

  • The name of an executor to handle your affairs;

  • The name of a trusted guardian to take care of your minor children;

  • The name of a trusted individual to watch over the property of your minor children.


We can help you create a simple or complex will that does not leave your family unprotected and left with the responsibility of fighting in court for the property they are entitled to.

 

Types of Trusts in Florida

Trusts are extremely useful when it comes to protecting your assets. Our Miami probate lawyers have the knowledge and resources needed to create a trust that best suit your individual needs and effectively protects your valuable assets. At Paul M Cowan, we can assist you in creating various types of trusts, including but not limited to:

 

  • Revocable Trust: This type of trust holds your assets and allows you to manage them and take out money when needed. You are also allowed to make changes to the terms of your revocable trust as well. A successor trustee is appointed to step in and manage your assets if you become incapacitated and take over when you pass away.

  • Irrevocable Trust: Unlike a revocable trust, you are not allowed to make changes to an irrevocable trust. When you put assets into this trust, you are removing your rights to ownership. When you pass away, the successor trustee makes sure that the assets are properly distributed to the beneficiaries.
