Friends, family, and esteemed clients, it is never too early to begin planning for your future, as well as the future security of your loved ones. Simply stated, life happens. Growing older brings unexpected medical and psychological changes. You should be ready for them to the extent that may be possible through careful planning and preparation. One of the best ways that you can prepare for unanticipated changes in health and soundness of mind, is by drafting a will. Generating a will can help take away some of the uncertainty involving your finances and their distribution to your loved ones. You have worked your whole life as a career person, a homemaker, an entrepreneur, or otherwise, and now that you are planning for the back nine (let’s be honest, Lake County and Orange County have a lot of golf courses, so please forgive my rather specific metaphor) let me be your guide to ensure you make the best shots/decisions you can. Estate planning involves a many variables, a great deal of arcane legalese, and a lot of tough decisions about how to distribute your assets. I would be humbled to help you plan for your and your family’s future. Consider hiring me as your Estate attorney in Clermont FL, and a wills attorney in Orlando

Writing a will today does not mean that you have set everything in stone, or that your decisions as to asset distribution are unable to be changed. In fact, wills are made to be amended if and when required.

With the help of an attorney, you can create codicils (amendments or modifications) to your original will in order to effect changes, or if necessary (and if time and circumstances warrant) draft a new will that fully revokes your original will. This is why I stated previously, that it is never too early to plan for the future. Your relationships with family and friends may change over the course of time. New friendships may be forged, and some friends and family members may be in need of help more than others. Changes in your family’s circumstances may warrant additions or subtractions form your estate plan. When you need legal help with your estate planning, call, e-mail, or even text message the Jacobs Law Firm. Jonathan Jacobs is an estate  attorney in Clermont FL.

Estate Lawyer in Clermont, Florida: Is a Simple Will right for me?

Many wills are called “basic,” or “simple” wills. If your assets are primarily based on personal property and bank accounts, steps can be taken to draft a simple will in a reasonable period of time. A simple will may factor in your assets and preferences for their distribution, at a lower cost than a larger estate plan. An estate lawyer in Clermont, Florida or Orlando, Florida can help identify how best to distribute your assets based on your intentions. Give your estate planning the careful thought it deserves.

Alternatively, some clients have vast portfolios involving multiple detailed financial considerations. Depending on your financial circumstances, the creation of a will may take more time and involve a significant number of additional provisions and/or the creation of trusts to protect and safeguard your assets smartly. For example, shared property, property owned in other states, retirement and pension funds, stocks, bonds and annuities, and other income-generating accounts or holdings may impact the complexity of your will.

We may need to have a conversation about building trusts in order to best safeguard your assets. There are also tax considerations we may discuss in order to place you in the best possible position financially.
