In an interview this week, Veliz said: “More people, who are not experts in estate planning, are turning to online services to draw up living trusts, but they may not be foolproof when scrutinized by a probate court.”

The Founder of Ana M. Veliz, P.A. in Coral Gables, commented: “Even if filled out and notarized, all without consulting an estate planning attorney, people will incorrectly assume they have all their bases covered.’’

“This is true if a third party wants to contest the trust. In other words, some of the things considered when creating a living trust by an estate planning attorney may not be considered when a non-attorney drafts a living trust.”

Estate planning is a field of practice represented by the legal community for a reason. Veliz added: “It is a field of expertise where professional attorneys have been trained in that niche.’’

“If you need a plumber, you don’t call a dental surgeon. Similarly, when it comes to estate planning, a specialist in that field can offer guidance on a living trust and other related issues.”

Downloaded living trusts frequently must address critical legal considerations and obligations, posing potential future challenges.

Veliz said: “Drawing up a living trust yourself risks putting your family members through months, if not years, of complications. Potential obstacles include accidentally disinheriting someone, a delay in asset distribution, and going to the probate court.”

She concluded: “No two estate planning cases are the same. Downloaded documents are the same ones everyone gets, whether they have no children or blended families, $100 in assets or millions.’’

“An estate planning professional considers your family’s specific needs. They provide accurate legal advice so you can be confident you’ll have a legally viable plan rather than a one-size-fits-all DIY approach.”
