Florida Wills and Trusts services in the UK

28/05/2020

If you are a UK resident and own a villa or condominium in Florida, you may not yet have taken legal advice in relation to whether you need just your English Will or a separate Florida will.  Practising Florida law from the UK for the past 10 years after moving here from Florida back in 1999, Kevin Michael Burke, Attorney & Notary of American Attorney Services can assist you in answering this.  Depending on your circumstances, the answer may be that you don't need a separate Florida will.  There are considerations to be taken into account and of course it should also be considered whether you should perhaps seek to avoid probate altogether in Florida by seeking to hold you Florida property in your own Florida living trust.  The choice is your, just make sure that the legal adviser assisting you with such questions has knowledge of the UK legal issues which should not be ignored.
