HOW IT'S SIGNED IN FLORIDA

GOOD TO KNOW

• Paper will: the template is set up for signing on paper with everyone physically present.

• No tax-planning or trust provisions. If your situation is complex (blended family, a business, a large estate, homestead with a spouse or minor child, or someone who may contest the will), talk to a Florida attorney.
