Updating Your Will
The Sunshine State attracts everyone from Spring Breakers to Retirees. But if you are now going to call Florida your home, you may be wondering if your out-of-state will is going to be affected by your relocation.
The answer is YES. Florida has specific laws and requirements associated with your estate planning documents, including your will.
Estate Planning Attorney Andy Lyons of the Lyons Law Group weighs in about your concerns.
“If you’ve sold a property in another state and moved to Florida, you’ve probably bought a home here. This means your will should be adjusted, to make sure your heirs don’t have any issues. We’ve got some very affordable solutions for folks that just want to have a quick will update. It can be something as simple as adding a witness or adding a provision to deal with your homestead residents here in Florida.”
Lyons continues to say that It is important to note that there must be certain provisions in your will for it to be effective, and it must be signed and notarized properly with the correct number of witnesses, and more.
And if you’re spending your money on your move and furnishing your new home, the fees associated with the update may be a concern, but Lyons says the benefits will absolutely outweigh the costs, and his law group offers very affordable estate planning packages with documents that start at only $150.
So, contact the Lyons Law Group today to arrange a consultation with one of their knowledgeable estate planning attorneys. With offices in New Port Richey and Spring Hill, they are happy to meet at whichever location is most convenient for you and look forward to welcoming you to Florida.
