Florida Wills & Trusts Attorney
A will or trust is the foundation of any estate plan. Attorney Clyde Lemon works with Florida individuals and families to draft clear, enforceable documents that protect assets and honor your wishes.
Last Will & Testament
A Florida will designates who inherits your property, names a personal representative to administer your estate, and — critically — names a guardian for minor children. Florida requires two witnesses and notarization for a will to be valid.
Revocable Living Trust
A revocable living trust holds your assets during your lifetime and transfers them to beneficiaries after death without probate court involvement. This preserves privacy, reduces delay, and can lower administration costs — especially for real estate in multiple states.
Pour-Over Will & Trust Coordination
Most clients benefit from both a trust and a "pour-over" will that captures any assets not transferred to the trust during life. Attorney Lemon drafts these documents to work together as a cohesive plan.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does Florida recognize handwritten (holographic) wills?
No. Florida does not recognize handwritten wills without proper witnesses and notarization. A will that does not meet Florida's formal requirements will be invalid.
Can I change my will after it is signed?
Yes. A will can be amended by a codicil or replaced entirely with a new will at any time while you have legal capacity. A revocable living trust is similarly flexible.
Do I need a trust if I already have a will?
It depends. If you own real property, have significant assets, or want to avoid probate, a trust is usually worth the additional upfront cost. Attorney Lemon reviews your specific situation before recommending a plan.
