Florida Lipman's Wills & Trusts Volume

The 430+ automated forms in this volume are designed to be the cornerstone of an estate planning practice. Lipman's Wills & Trusts is sophisticated enough for any high-end estate planning project, yet simple and flexible enough to handle smaller estates as well.

The forms in this volume cover all aspects of estate planning including the preparation of wills, living trusts, powers of attorney, living wills, health care surrogate forms, irrevocable trusts, buy-sell agreements, and even pre- & post-marital property agreements.

While this volume is extremely popular and easy to use for large estates, attorneys tell us it's invaluable for smaller estates as well. For instance, when preparing simple wills, you can easily add many different types of specific bequests as well as contingent trusts, arbitration clauses, and trusts for pets. Additionally, you can quickly draft language leaving property to multiple beneficiaries in equal shares or in various percentages, with contingent beneficiaries if any of the named beneficiaries are not living.

With Lipman’s Wills and Trusts, it’s easy to simultaneously draft many different kinds of documents. A single drafting session can include generation-skipping, tax-planned wills or revocable trusts, a family limited partnership, financial powers of attorney, designation of health care surrogate forms, HIPAA releases, living wills, life insurance trusts, etc.

If you are an experienced attorney specializing in estate planning, you'll value the breadth of our system. Or, if you are newer to estate planning, you'll appreciate how the automated system prompts you to consider facets of a client’s estate plan that you might ordinarily overlook.
