With winter approaching, many older residents in the northern states travel to Florida to spend the cold months. While some make a complete move to the state following retirement, others seek to maintain two households to spend the different seasons.
While owning multiple homes has many benefits, it can create some complexities when it comes to creating or updating an estate plan.

Not only can an attorney help you avoid potential problems but also ensure the documents are drafted with your wants and needs in mind.
