TALLAHASSEE WILLS AND TRUST ATTORNEY
WILLS v. TRUSTS?
Do you know the difference between a will and a trust? Not many people actually do. There are an equal number of misconceptions as to why you might desire a will or a trust.
A will is a legal document that outlines how you want your property and possessions to be distributed upon your death. It allows you to name beneficiaries, designate guardians for minor children, and specify any other final wishes. However, a will must go through the probate process, which can be time-consuming and expensive. On the other hand, a trust is a legal arrangement where you transfer ownership of your assets to a trustee, who manages them on behalf of your chosen beneficiaries.
Unlike a will, a trust typically avoids probate, offering more privacy, efficiency, and flexibility in asset distribution. Additionally, trusts can provide added benefits such as asset protection, incapacity planning, and minimizing estate taxes. Ultimately, the decision between a will and a trust depends on your specific circumstances, goals, and preferences in estate planning.

RECENTLY DIVORCED?
We help recent divorcees. If you have just gone through a divorce, now is the time to change your estate plan.

PERSONALIZED PLAN AND FEES
Our Estate Planning pricing is determined by the complexities of the plan you ultimately choose, and our fees hit the junction between value and effectiveness. We do not believe in the one form fits all approach.
Typical estate planning fees start at around $2,000 for the most simple plans on up to those not worried about keeping family out of court, to $10,000 and above depending on the level of complexity and asset protection you desire to avoid the negative consequences of your wealth getting held up in probate, court disputes, or going to government.
Cheap estate planning is like buying a used car from a discounted car lot. They look like they will meet your needs, until you take it home and then it doesn’t work. The only exception is that if you get your estate plan wrong, your family, loved ones, pets, charities are the ones who pay the price. Every estate plan that we craft is reviewed carefully by a licensed Estate Planning attorney.
Our offices are located in Tallahassee. However, we provide Estate Planning services throughout the state of Florida.
Tallahassee Estate Planning Attorney Conticello and the staff of Conticello Law, look forward to being part of your team!!!
