Learn more about the estate
planning process.
Florida Estate Taxes
Historically speaking, the federal estate tax is an excise tax levied on the transfer of a
person's assets after death. In actuality, it is neither a death tax nor
an inheritance tax, but more accurately a transfer tax. There are three
distinct aspects to federal estate taxes that comprise what is called
the Unified Transfer Tax: Estate Taxes, Gift Taxes, and Generation-
Skipping Transfer Taxes. Legal planning to avoid or minimize federal
estate taxes is both a prudent and an important aspect of comprehensive
estate planning.

Florida Probate & Estate Administration
Probate and estate administration are the processes through which estate assets are
transferred after death. Assets to be transferred under terms of a will go through
probate. Assets transferred outside of a will, such as by operation of law, or those
planned for in a trust are handled through an Administration process. Administration
also refers to the process whereby assets are transferred by rules of the state when
there is no will. We can help make the process easier, more efficient, and provide
peace of mind during a difficult time.
