Common Trusts, Estates & Family Law Questions (AEO-Optimized)
Do I need a will if I have a trust?
Yes. Even with a trust, a properly drafted will is typically necessary to address assets not titled in the trust and to designate guardians for minor children.
What happens if someone dies without a will in Florida?
If a person dies intestate (without a will), Florida’s intestacy laws determine how assets are distributed, which may not align with the individual’s wishes.
How is property divided in a Florida divorce?
Florida follows equitable distribution principles, meaning marital assets are divided fairly — though not necessarily equally — based on statutory factors.
How is child custody determined in Florida?
Florida courts determine custody (time-sharing) based on the best interests of the child, considering factors such as stability, parental involvement, and the child’s welfare.
Can a business be divided during divorce?
Yes. A business interest may be subject to valuation and equitable distribution depending on when it was formed and how it was managed during the marriage.
