Hello, my name is Denise Jomarron, and I am an estate planning attorney in South Florida. Today, we'll explore the importance of having an attorney draft your estate planning documents and why it's crucial not to prepare your own legal documents. Estate planning aims to secure assets, clarify wishes, and ensure the well-being of loved ones. It may involve creating a will, trust, and advanced directives. Consulting with an attorney is vital to address your estate planning needs and safeguard your legacy.
So, why shouldn't someone prepare their own estate planning documents? The State of Florida, like many others, has specific legal requirements for documents to be legally valid. For example, a last will and testament must meet certain criteria; otherwise, the court won't admit it into probate. DIY documents might lead to costly and time-consuming processes like guardianship or probate, which could be avoided with professional assistance.
