Jaffe Law Miami prepares comprehensive estate plans for individuals, families, and business owners throughout Miami-Dade, Broward, and Palm Beach counties. Every plan is tailored to your specific situation under Florida law, whether you need a straightforward will or a more sophisticated trust structure.

Common Questions

Do I need a Florida trust or just a will?

It depends on your situation. Florida trusts avoid probate and provide privacy, but add complexity. We discuss the tradeoffs under Florida law and recommend the right approach for your circumstances.

What happens without a will in Florida?

Florida intestacy laws determine who inherits your assets, which may not match your wishes. The Florida probate court also appoints someone to administer your estate without your input.
