What Is a Last Will and Testament?
A last will and testament is a legal document that lets you decide how your assets are handled after you pass away. Without a valid will, Florida law determines who receives your assets—regardless of your wishes.
A last will and testament lets you:
- Name who inherits your property and belongings
- Appoint a personal representative (executor) to manage your estate
- Designate guardians for minor children
Many Tampa residents think they don’t need a will because they’re young, don’t have kids, or assume their estate is small. But if you own property, have dependents, or want control over your assets, having a will is essential.
To be legally valid in Florida, your will must:
- Be in writing
- Be signed by the person making it (the testator)
- Be witnessed by two people who are present at the same time
- Be created when the testator is mentally competent and acting freely
Florida does not recognize handwritten or oral wills. If these requirements aren’t met, the court may reject the will entirely—leading to confusion, delays, and potential disputes among family members. If you’re unsure whether your will meets these legal standards, our Tampa last will and testament attorneys can help you draft or review it to protect your wishes.
Why You Need a Will in Florida
If you die without a will in Florida, the state decides who inherits your assets. Under Florida’s intestacy laws, your property is distributed based on a fixed formula—often ignoring personal wishes or complex family dynamics. This can lead to delays, legal disputes, and outcomes you wouldn’t choose.
Having a will puts you in control. It allows you to:
- Choose who inherits your property
- Appoint someone you trust to manage your estate
- Name a guardian for your children
- Reduce the risk of family conflict
A properly drafted will can also help avoid probate, ensuring your assets are distributed more efficiently and with less court involvement. We’ve worked with families in Tampa who’ve dealt with the fallout of a loved one passing without a plan—months in probate court, unexpected heirs, and unnecessary tension.
Common concerns we hear include:
- “Who takes care of my kids if I’m gone?”
- “Can I make sure everything goes to my spouse?”
- “How do I avoid a legal mess for my family?”
We answer these questions every day—and we’re ready to help you create a will that protects what matters most. For many Tampa residents, combining a will with a trust offers the best protection. Our Tampa trust and will attorneys can guide you through both.
