Estate Planning | Probate And Trust Administration<\/h2>\n

Estate Planning |<\/a>\u00a0After a loved one dies, it is often necessary to endure the probate process. This is the time a court<\/p>\n

must deal with a decedent’s property. A Probate Court deducts fees from the estate to ensure funeral\u00a0expenses and other items are paid. To keep the probate process simple, proper estate planning is\u00a0essential. If a deceased person had a funded Trust, it may be possible to avoid probate entirely. A\u00a0knowledgeable probate attorney will be able to help grieving family members deal with probate or\u00a0trust administration issues.\u00a0A person’s family may believe the deceased individual properly prepared for death by drawing up a\u00a0Last Will, funding a Trust, or designating certain beneficiaries. Under certain circumstances, a\u00a0decedent’s plans may negatively affect the family. Estate taxes and Florida Medicaid issues may\u00a0complicate things. To make the best choices that create favorable consequences for survivors, it is\u00a0wise to consult with a lawyer who thoroughly understands Florida laws.<\/p>\n

Florida Probate<\/strong><\/p>\n

During probate, a decedent’s assets are distributed according to the terms of his or her Will. An\u00a0attorney helps file the Will, handles all court proceedings, arranges for creditor payments, and\u00a0performs administrative duties. If there are no designated beneficiaries, all assets titled only in the\u00a0decedent’s name must be probated.<\/p>\n

Florida Trust Administration<\/strong><\/p>\n

Even though probate is not required when a decedent has a funded Trust, the trustee must begin\u00a0administering the Trust. This person must contact beneficiaries, gather assets, notify creditors, pay\u00a0debts, and distribute assets. At certain times, it may be necessary to explain all matters to the IRS, so\u00a0clear records must be kept.\u00a0Mortellaro & Sinadinos in Tampa keep clients up-to-date on the latest tax, trust, and estate laws so\u00a0that estate planning objectives are successfully met. It is vital to prepare for the future so that family\u00a0members are not overburdened by the death of a loved one.<\/p>\n
