DraftCounsel · Florida

The Florida drafting desk: statute-cited instruments, deterministically assembled.

The estate bundle assembles from a parameterized, attorney-reviewable clause library — the model never authors operative text. Florida’s clause pack overlays source-cited provisions; every instrument then faces the built-in review and your approval workstation.

Start a Florida will →See the five-document bundle

Fla. Stat. § 732.502

A Florida will must be signed at the end before two attesting witnesses, who sign in the testator’s presence and each other’s.

Fla. Stat. § 744.3045

A preneed guardian declaration lets you name, in advance, who serves as your guardian if a court ever appoints one.

Fla. Stat. § 744.3046

Parents may separately declare a preneed guardian for minor children, effective if no parent can serve.

The Florida estate bundle

Five instruments, each assembled deterministically from the clause library with Florida’s source-cited overlay — then adjudicated finding-by-finding in your workstation.

Last Will & Testament

Spell out who inherits what, and who carries out your wishes.

Draft for Florida →

Revocable Living Trust

Hold your assets in trust so they pass to loved ones without probate delays.

Draft for Florida →

Financial Power of Attorney (Durable)

Name someone you trust to handle money matters if you cannot.

Draft for Florida →

Advance Healthcare Directive & Living Will

Make your medical wishes clear and name who speaks for you.

Draft for Florida →

Declaration Naming Preneed Guardian

Name in advance who serves as your guardian — and your children’s — if a court is ever involved.

Draft for Florida →

Then: Florida contracts, leases & more

The clause-pack system is state-by-state and document-by-document. Florida estate documents are first; Florida contract and lease packs follow the same statute-cited path.

Will or living trust? See what each instrument does

Deterministic — computed, not generated

A client-conversation scaffold — the same descriptive mapping the consumer funnel sees, useful for framing the trust-vs-will talk.

Tick what is true and see what each instrument does

A will directs who takes at death and is administered through probate; a funded revocable living trust holds assets titled to it and passes them under its own terms without probate administration. Either way, a Florida plan usually includes a will (it names guardians for minor children and acts as a backstop), a durable power of attorney, and healthcare directives — and Florida homestead rules and the spousal elective share apply regardless of which instrument holds the estate.

Facing a Florida court matter?

Free, plain-English checklists to get organized for the most common civil matters — answering a debt lawsuit, responding to an eviction, small claims, and fee waivers — with the official forms and legal-aid referrals. Self-help information, not a filing service.

Clause provenance: every clause earns its place

These cards are derived directly from the clause library and Florida’s clause pack — not written by hand, so they cannot drift from the documents they describe. For every clause: where it comes from, whether the facts decide it, the statutes cited inside it, and the AI’s role (none — the model never authors this text). Full coverage detail lives on the coverage & verification page.

The Florida probate desk is being built — the engine is already live

Administration-path routing (disposition without administration · summary · formal, including the ch. 2026-57 changes effective July 1, 2026), the § 733.702 / § 733.710 creditor-claim clock, the § 733.6171 / § 733.617 fee presumptions, and probate contacts for all 67 Florida counties on file — deterministic, statute-cited, and test-covered. The county-aware court packet builder assembles on top of this engine next.

Probate quick check

Administration-path triage plus the statutory fee schedule, from the same engine that will drive the court packet builder.

They assemble inside the packet flow (the engine decides the document set per administration path), not the generic drafting picker, and every one is a draft for licensed-attorney review and filing — the platform does not file.

Execution, the Florida way

Florida (Fla. Stat. § 732.502): sign your will before two witnesses.

  • Sign at the END of the will in front of two adult witnesses, who then sign in your presence.
  • Use witnesses who get nothing under the will — naming a beneficiary (or their spouse) as a witness can void that gift.
  • Add a notarized self-proving affidavit (Fla. Stat. § 732.503) so the will can be admitted to probate without tracking the witnesses down later.
  • Florida does NOT recognize handwritten (holographic) wills — it must be typed and witnessed as above.
  • Florida authorizes electronic wills (ch. 732, Part V).
  • Execution rules change over time — confirm this against Florida’s current statute, and have a licensed attorney review anything you’re unsure about.

The same execution engine prints these formalities into every exported document’s guidance appendix.

What we claim — and what we don’t

Florida provisions are tailored from Florida’s statutes and carry their citations in the document notes. We do not yet assert a “verified state-exact” guarantee: that claim is gated in code until a licensed Florida attorney signs off on each instrument, and every document says so honestly. You remain the supervising attorney — the workstation exists so nothing finalizes without your ruling.

DraftCounsel is professional drafting software for licensed attorneys, operated by LegalDraft Technologies LLC. DraftCounsel is not a law firm and does not provide legal advice. All output is AI-generated draft work product offered for attorney review; the supervising attorney is solely responsible for reviewing, revising, approving, and using any work product, and for compliance with applicable rules of professional conduct. Communications with DraftCounsel are not protected by attorney-client privilege.
