COMMON QUESTIONS ABOUT WILLS

A will is a legal document that outlines how your assets will be distributed after your death. A trust, on the other hand, is a legal arrangement in which you transfer ownership of your assets to a trustee, who manages them on behalf of your beneficiaries. A trust can help you avoid probate and may offer tax benefits.

A Personal Representative is the person who is appointed by the Court to administer the estate.

Yes, a Personal Representative is the same thing as an Executor.  Different states use different terminology - in Florida we use the title Personal Representative instead of Executor.

Your Personal Representative does not have to be a Florida resident if they are your spouse, sibling, parent, child, or other close relative.
