FAQs

Is a noncompete covenant enforceable in Florida?

Yes, so long as it is reasonable. In determining reasonableness, courts will look at the duration of the restriction on competing, the geographic area covered by the agreement, and the scope of business activities which are restricted. Additionally, the employer must be able to demonstrate a legitimate business interest for needing the covenant, such as the protection of trade secrets or maintaining substantial relationships with certain customers. The covenant not to compete must also be in writing and signed by the employee to be valid.

Are bankruptcy cases litigated in court?

A bankruptcy filing usually does not require a courtroom hearing; it is mostly an administrative proceeding handled by the bankruptcy trustee outside of the courthouse. Sometimes, however, litigation is necessary to resolve a bankruptcy dispute. Bankruptcy litigation may resemble a motion hearing or a full-blown trial, depending upon whether the litigation is an Adversary Proceeding under section 7001 of the Bankruptcy Code or a Contested Matter under Bankruptcy Rule 9014. These proceedings may be necessary to resolve objections to the confirmation of a plan, to subordinate a claim or determine the validity or priority of a lien, to determine the dischargeability of a debt, or to resolve a host of other bankruptcy disputes.

What is the elective share, and how does it work?

A surviving spouse has the option to accept whatever the other spouse left him or her in the will, or to forego that inheritance and instead take the elective share. The elective share equals 30% of the net value of the property of the deceased spouse. A surviving spouse may wish to consult with an attorney about whether to choose the elective share or take under the will.

Should I be concerned about taxes when planning my estate?

Although the federal estate tax can be as high as 40% of the value of the estate, most people are able to take advantage of the estate tax exemption, which exempts the first $12.92 million of the estate from taxes. Even better, married couples can exempt $25.84 million from estate taxes with proper planning. Florida does not currently have an estate tax, so it is only the federal estate tax which need concern you. If you have a large estate, we can help you consider other estate tax planning strategies, such as irrevocable trusts.
