What is Incapacity in Florida? According to Florida law, an “incapacitated person” is judicially determined to lack the capacity to manage at least some of their property or to meet at least some of the essential health and safety requirements. This broad definition encapsulates a range of scenarios, from medical conditions like Alzheimer’s or dementia to physical frailty due to advanced age. The Guardianship Proceeding: A Step-by-Step Overview Initiating the Process: The journey begins when a concerned individual – often a family member – notices that a loved one may not have the mental capacities to handle their affairs effectively. They may file a petition in court to start the process of determining incapacity.

FAQs

How are taxes handled in probate?

Florida has no estate tax on the estate level and no inheritance tax for beneficiaries of an estate. You only have to worry about potential federal estate tax liability. An estate worth more than $5.4 million has a potential estate tax liability and will be required to file a 706 estate tax return. If the couple is married, they have a combined exemption of around 10 million, if not closer to $11 million.

When is probate required to transfer title to real estate?

Any property that was owned by the decedent in their sole name with no designated pay on debt beneficiary will be required to go through the probate process in order to clear title.

Who is able to contest a will?

Any person named in the will directly, or any person that is in the intestate beneficiary, which is often a family member of the person who died, has the ability to contest a will.

What are will contests and how do I avoid them?

Will contest are dispute between a beneficiary or a person who wants to be a beneficiary or maybe even a spouse or a child who disagrees with the items that dispositions in the will and the best way to avoid them is to get good legal advice in the preparation of the will to explore the possibilities of will contest and then to document your rationale for your disposition.

How is the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) involved in the probate process?

If you have any particular questions about the taxation of an estate I would recommend that you contact an experienced accountant or trust an estates attorney to help direct you through the process.
