Revocable Living Trust, Durable Power
of Attorney And Health Care
Surrogate
Many clients mistakenly believe that a Revocable
Living Trust is only for the wealthy. The current Federal and Florida Estate Tax exclusion is over
$5,000,000.00.
However, your decision as to whether to have a
Simple Will or a Revocable Living Trust has nothing
to do with the Federal and Florida Estate Tax exemptions. The main purpose of a Revocable Living Trust
is to avoid probate in Florida. If the only real estate
you own is your home, your heirs would still greatly
benefit from a Revocable Living Trust.
Let us assume that you are married and you own
your home jointly. You have two children and you
want them to have your home when you both pass
away. Your other assets include CD's, a brokerage
account and an IRA.
Without a Revocable Living Trust, you could still
avoid probate on all of your assets except your
home. You would simply name your children as the
contingent beneficiaries for your other assets. When
you both pass away, your children would get those
assets immediately by showing the death certificate
and identification.
However, the same is not true for your home.
Without a Revocable Living Trust, your home would
have to go into probate. Probate involves hiring a
lawyer, approximately nine months in the court system, publication in the newspaper, costs and attorney's fees amounting to several thousand dollars or
more, depending on the value of your home. Your
home would also be tied up in the probate process
