Florida Will Protection Plan
A will is the foundation of many estate plans - but it must be done correctly to protect your family. The
Will Protection Plan provides attorney-drafted documents, Florida-compliant execution, and clear guidance so your wishes are honored and your loved ones aren't left navigating uncertainty.
What a Will Does in Florida
A properly drafted will allows you to:
- Direct how assets are distributed
- Name guardians for minor children
- Appoint a personal representative (executor)
- Provide clarity
Florida Will Requirements
Florida law has strict rules. A will must be:
Signed by the testator
Witnessed by two people
Executed properly to be valid
Mistakes can invalidate a will entirely - which is why attorney guidance matters.
Important Truth About Wills & Probate
A will does not avoid probate in Florida. It directs the probate process.
If avoiding probate, delays, and court costs is a goal, a trust-based plan may be a better solution.
