Irrevocable Trusts in Florida

An irrevocable trust in Florida is an agreement among a settlor, trustee, and beneficiaries that cannot be revoked or amended. The trustmaker, or settlor, cannot take back property they transfer to an irrevocable trust. An irrevocable trust allows the person who creates the trust, the settlor, to manage their assets while avoiding probate and providing asset protection from future creditors. A Florida irrevocable trust can also help reduce estate taxes for those subject to the federal estate tax. Irrevocable trusts also protect the deceased estate from the creditors of their beneficiaries.

How Many of These Life Situations and Goals for a Trust Apply to You?

  • I have a blended family / 2nd marriage
  • Asset protection concerns
  • I have real estate outside of Florida
  • High net worth/wealth preservation
  • Children/beneficiaries need protection from themselves, e.g., frivolous spending, bad marriage/ex-spouse, creditors, litigation, etc.
  • I want to transfer my business to the next generation
  • I want to avoid probate court or minimize probate
  • I don’t want my son/daughter-in-law to get their hands on my child’s inheritance

If I Make a Living Trust, Do I Still Need a Will?

Yes. We draft pour-over wills that put anything that isn’t in your trust into the trust. As you go through life, you may forget to title assets, or well-meaning bank clerks can undo work towards funding your trust. For this reason, a pour-over will is a catch-all to ensure that any assets that aren’t in the trust get put into it. Our office can also assist in your catch-all will creation.

Reasons to Create a Revocable Living Trust in Florida

  • Avoid probate court
  • Avoid guardianship court
  • Give you control after death
  • Avoid guardianship court for minor children
  • Asset protection for your beneficiaries
  • Protection for individuals with special needs
