Do you have an estate plan—or just a will?

A will is an important part of estate planning, but it is only one piece of the puzzle.

A complete estate plan should also address what happens if you become incapacitated, who can make financial and health care decisions for you, how your assets are titled, whether your beneficiary designations are coordinated with your plan, and how your assets should ultimately pass to the people you care about.

In my latest article, I discuss why effective estate planning is about more than simply having documents—it’s about making sure all the pieces work together when you and your family need them.

Most people associate estate planning with one document: a will. A will is certainly an important estate planning document. It can determine who receives certain property after your death, nominate a personal representative to administer your estate, and identify guardians for minor children. But ha...

Many estate plans are built with good intentions—but overlook one key issue:

What happens to your child’s inheritance over time?

If assets are left outright, they may become exposed to divorce, creditors, or other risks depending on how they are handled.

In this article, I outline practical ways to structure an inheritance more thoughtfully, including the use of trusts and other planning tools.

If this is something you’ve been meaning to revisit, it’s worth taking a closer look.

Many parents create an estate plan with a simple goal: to ensure their children benefit from what they have built over a lifetime. But an important—and often overlooked—question is: What happens to your child’s inheritance if they later divorce or face financial issues? Without proper planning...

If you own a Florida LLC, one of the most important deadlines each year is May 1.
The annual report filing is required to keep your company in good standing with the state. Missing it results in a $400 late fee and can eventually lead to administrative dissolution.
While the filing itself is simple, it’s often overlooked—and that’s where issues arise.
In this article, I break down what good standing actually means, why it matters, and how to stay compliant.

Starting a limited liability company (LLC) is a major step for any business owner. But once your company is formed, the work does not stop there. One of the most important ongoing requirements is maintaining compliance with state rules—especially filing the Florida LLC annual report, which is requ...

Doctors face risks most professionals never see.

Malpractice insurance is essential—but it doesn’t protect everything. Estate planning alone doesn’t either.

In this article, I explain why doctors (and other high-income professionals) need a coordinated approach to estate and asset protection planning—and where many plans fall short.

👉 Read more here: https://gonzalezlawmiami.com/estate-and-asset-protection-planning-for-doctors/

Estate planning for doctors requires a different approach than traditional planning. Doctors face heightened liability exposure, complex entity structures, and income profiles that make coordinated asset protection planning essential. While these issues affect many professionals, doctors are a clear...

Land Trust vs. LLC in Florida — which structure actually makes sense for your property?
I see a lot of confusion around this, especially among real estate investors and property owners. Land trusts and LLCs serve very different purposes, and choosing the wrong one can create unnecessary liability, probate issues, or even property tax problems.
In this article, I break down:
• When a land trust makes sense (and when it doesn’t)
• When an LLC is usually the better option
• Why neither structure automatically avoids probate
• How Florida homestead and property tax rules can be impacted
• Common mistakes I see property owners make
If you own Florida real estate—or are thinking about restructuring how property is held—this is worth a read.
👉 Read the full article here: https://gonzalezlawmiami.com/land-trust-vs-llc-florida/

Florida property owners often ask the same question: Should I hold my property in a land trust or an LLC? The short answer is: it depends on your goal. Land trusts and LLCs serve different legal purposes, and confusion between the two often leads to unnecessary complexity, false expectations about a...

When’s the last time you reviewed your estate plan?
Marriage, retirement, moving, or the birth of a child can make your current documents outdated.
