Trusts & Their Legal Significance
A trust is a right in property held by one person for the benefit of another. Trusts serve a variety of purposes and may take a number of different forms. A trust may be created to benefit a family member, a charity, or even a pet. Since trusts allow an individual to distribute his or her assets to others while minimizing estate, income, and gift taxes, trusts have become an essential component of estate planning. In the absence of nationally uniform trust legislation, individual states have developed their own laws to govern the establishment and maintenance of trusts. The Uniform Probate Code (UPC), which sets forth provisions relating to both wills and trusts, has been adopted in whole by over 30 percent of the states.

What is Guardian Advocacy?
Ever wonder how families support a disabled loved one? How does the loved one go about their duties? The answer is guardian advocacy. Guardian advocacy allows a trusted individual to manage a disabled person’s matters, which can be financial, personal, or medical. Guardian advocacies exist because disabled individuals may not be able to handle these responsibilities alone.

These instructions can include the treatments you would or would not want in certain situations and the person you trust to decide on your behalf if you cannot do so yourself. Advanced directives are an essential part of Florida estate planning for directives, as they help ensure your preferences are followed while protecting your rights.
