Boomers & Gen X: Now Is the Time to Put a Real Florida Plan in Place
You’ve built a life worth protecting. The smartest next step is a Florida estate plan centered on a revocable living trust (to avoid probate), plus a health care surrogate (healthcare power of attorney), durable financial power of attorney, HIPAA release, and living will. These aren’t just documents—they’re a practical way to reduce stress, save money, and keep your family in control.
Biazzo Law serves clients fully remotely across Sarasota, Charlotte, DeSoto, Glades, Hendry, Lee, Collier, Palm Beach, Broward, Miami-Dade, and Monroe Counties—from Palm Beach to the Keys—with an easy, phone-and-laptop-friendly process.
Why a Florida Revocable Living Trust Helps You Avoid Probate
A revocable living trust (Florida) puts efficiency and privacy first:
Avoids probate (the public, court-supervised process)—saving time, cost, and hassle for your family
Immediate continuity if you’re incapacitated—your successor trustee can manage bills, accounts, and real estate without court delays
Custom distributions—support a surviving spouse, stagger inheritances, or protect beneficiaries who need structure
Privacy—trust administration is typically private; wills become public record
Flexible & updatable—amend any time as life evolves
Myth: “I’m not wealthy, so I don’t need a trust.”Reality: Trusts are about efficiency and control, not just net worth.
The Florida Powers That Keep Life Moving
Durable (Financial) Power of Attorney — FloridaLets a trusted person handle money, property, bills, banking, taxes, insurance, and real estate if you can’t—so your family avoids a court-appointed guardianship just to access accounts.
Designation of Health Care Surrogate — FloridaNames who can make medical decisions if you’re unable. Pair it with HIPAA authorizations (for access to records) and a Living Will to clearly state your end-of-life preferences.
Why these matter: Without them, your loved ones may face costly, time-consuming court processes at the worst possible moment.
Don’t Wait for “Someday”
Health events and emergencies don’t send calendar invites
Life insurance, retirement accounts, and home equity are often your biggest assets—coordinate them now
Second marriages, snowbird homes, and multi-state families need clear instructions that a trust can handle smoothly
Your plan can include tax-aware distributions, special gifts, digital assets, and caregiver guidance
Estate planning isn’t about how much you have—it’s about who you love and how you protect them.

FAQs for Florida Boomers & Gen X
Do I still need a will if I have a trust?Yes. A pour-over will backs up your trust and handles any assets not retitled.
What if I never sign POAs?Your family may need a court-appointed guardianship/conservatorship to manage finances or make medical decisions—costly and stressful.
Can I change my plan later?Absolutely. A revocable trust and related documents can be updated as life changes.
