Estate Planning,
Explained Simply
Short videos covering wills, trusts, probate and estate planning in Florida — straight from Eve Lumsden.
Lady Bird Deed — Avoid Probate with Your Florida Homestead
A lady bird deed lets you pass your home directly to a beneficiary after you pass away — no probate required. Eve Lumsden explains how it works, who it's right for, and the one important drawback every Florida homeowner should know before signing.
Separated in Florida? Your Spouse Still Has Rights on Any Property You Buy
Florida does not recognise legal separation — you're either married or you're not. Eve shares a real-life story of a woman who got all the way to closing on a new home before discovering her estranged husband of 8 years still had legal rights over the purchase. If you're separated and thinking about buying property, watch this first.
Who Would Raise Your Child Tomorrow? Designating a Pre-Need Guardian in Florida
If something happened to you today, who would step in to care for your child? Florida law allows parents to name a guardian in writing — before anything goes wrong. Eve explains what a pre-need guardianship designation is, how it works, and why having one in place means your child stays with someone they know instead of entering the foster care system.
Your Will Can't Replace Beneficiary Designations — Here's Why
A will and beneficiary designations work together — but they don't do the same job. Eve explains why your life insurance, 401k, and IRA need their own named beneficiaries, what happens if you leave those fields blank, and how keeping them up to date is one of the simplest ways to keep your assets out of probate.
