Last Will & Testament Attorney in St. Petersburg

Being a Last Will attorney in St. Petersburg for many years, we’ve noticed that the concept of a “Will”, “Last Will” or “Estate Will”, is the one most people are familiar with when it comes to estate planning. These are both abbreviated versions of the actual document name which is “Last Will and Testament”. In a nutshell, this is the document in which you direct where and to whom you want your assets to go when you die. Your assets could include things like real estate, money, accounts, investments, personal property, collectables, and the like, or what we might informally refer to as your “stuff”. Your directions could be that you are leaving your assets to people, like family and friends, or organizations, such as charities and churches. Of course, for the most part, you can leave your assets to anybody you wish, so long as you make a legal Will. A Last Will lawyer will help you in making a Will that fits your specific wants and needs
