Questions Clients Are Asking About Estate Planning And Probate In Florida

Clients often come to us with similar questions regarding costs, roles and specific legal rules that affect their wealth. Below are clear answers to the most common inquiries we receive from Orlando families.

What is the difference between an estate lawyer and an estate planner?

An estate lawyer is a licensed attorney who creates documents that are legally binding, such as wills and trusts. Some can also represent you in court during probate. Meanwhile, an estate planner is typically a financial advisor who helps you organize your assets and investment strategy but cannot give legal advice or draft legal documents. 

How much do probate lawyers cost in Florida?

In Florida, probate attorneys may charge hourly, a flat fee for simple cases or a percentage of the estate. Ultimately, the costs will be based on the estate’s complexity, the type of assets involved and court requirements.

What is the average cost for an estate plan?

The cost varies significantly based on the complexity of your assets. A basic plan centered on a simple will will be more affordable, while plans involving complex asset protection strategies will be more expensive.

What is the 5 and 5 rule in estate planning?

Also known as the 5 by 5 power, the 5 and 5 rule gives a beneficiary limited access to trust funds without triggering severe tax penalties. Every year, it allows the beneficiary to take $5,000 or 5% of the total value of the trust.
