Tampa Trust Attorney
Planning for the future means making sure your loved ones are protected and your wishes are honored. At Lizbeth Potts, P.A., we help Tampa and Hillsborough County families set up trusts to avoid probate, plan for incapacity, and pass assets smoothly to the next generation.
What Is a Living Trust?
A revocable living trust is a flexible tool that lets you keep control of your assets during your lifetime and decide exactly how they are managed and distributed when you are gone. Because you can change it at any time, it adapts to your life as circumstances change.
Benefits of a Trust in Florida
- Avoids probate — assets in the trust pass directly to your beneficiaries, saving time and cost.
- Keeps your affairs private — unlike a will, a trust is not part of the public probate record.
- Plans for incapacity — a successor trustee can step in if you become unable to manage your own affairs.
- Gives you control — you decide who receives what, when, and under what conditions.
Revocable vs. Irrevocable Trusts
A revocable trust can be changed during your lifetime and is most often used to avoid probate and plan for incapacity. An irrevocable trust generally cannot be changed and is used for goals such as asset protection or tax planning.
Trust Administration
When the time comes, the successor trustee is responsible for administering the trust — gathering assets, paying valid debts, providing required notices and accountings to beneficiaries, and distributing what remains. We guide trustees through their duties so the process is handled correctly and with as little stress as possible.
Who Should Consider a Trust?
Trusts are not just for the wealthy. Families with minor children, blended families, business owners, and anyone who wants to avoid probate or plan for incapacity can benefit. A consultation is the best way to find out what is right for you.
