Why do I need a Last Will and Testament?
The Warranty Deed is the standard instrument for any genuine real estate transaction in Florida, and there are three fundamental reasons to use it.
Full Asset Protection
A Last Will and Testament covers everything you own — real estate, accounts, personal belongings, and any other asset in your name. Without one, gaps and ambiguities can leave parts of your estate exposed to disputes among family members or unintended claims. A properly drafted Will closes those gaps, ensuring every asset you hold is accounted for and distributed exactly as you intend.
Your Wishes, Your Words
You decide who receives what, name the executor responsible for carrying out your instructions, and can appoint a guardian for minor children. It's the only instrument that puts your intentions in writing with full legal weight — no one has to guess, assume, or argue about what you would have wanted.
Avoid State Intervention
In Florida, dying without a valid Will means the state's intestacy laws — not you — decide who inherits your estate. Your assets will still pass through probate either way, but without a Will, a judge applies a fixed legal formula instead of your actual wishes, often leaving out people you would have chosen and adding tension to an already difficult time for your family.

FAQs
How long does it take to prepare a Last Will and Testament?
On average, preparation takes 2 to 5 business days from the moment we receive all required information and supporting documents. A straightforward Will can typically be drafted and signed within a few days to a couple of weeks, depending on the complexity of your estate and how quickly you provide the necessary information.
Is a Last Will and Testament a public record?
Not while you're alive. It becomes part of the public record only after your passing, once it's filed with the probate court.
Do I need an attorney to draft a Last Will in Florida?
No. Florida law does not require an attorney to draft a Last Will and Testament. However, Florida has strict legal requirements for executing a valid Will, including that the Will be signed by the testator in the presence of two witnesses, who must also sign in the presence of the testator and each other. Because an improperly prepared or executed Will may be challenged or deemed invalid, many people choose to seek legal guidance to help ensure their Will complies with Florida law.
Does a Last Will need to be notarized and witnessed in Florida?
Florida requires two witnesses to sign in your presence. Notarization isn't strictly required to make a Will valid, but a "self-proving affidavit" (which is notarized) makes probate faster and easier.
What happens if I die without a Last Will in Florida?
Your estate is distributed according to Florida's intestacy laws, which follow a fixed legal formula rather than your personal wishes — and the process is often slower and more contentious for your family.
