Thank you for choosing Sibley Law & Associates, PLLC. Our law firm provides will and trusts for clients in Central Florida and surrounding areas. We construct a precise, straightforward, legal will or trust that's perfect for you.
A will is just one form of estate planning. It allows you to name a person to oversee the distribution of your assets, name who will receive what asset, name a long-term guardian for your minor children, and provide for final burial or cremation arrangements at your death. A Trust is an agreement where one person (trustee) holds onto assets for the benefit of others (beneficiaries).
The person that develops the trust is called the Trustor (our client). Trusts are set up to provide legal protection for the Trustor’s assets and ensure that those assets are distributed according to the wishes of the Trustor. Don’t wait any longer to get started! Call us now to schedule a consultation.

What is A Will?
A Will is a legal document that a person uses to express how they want their assets (property) distributed after they pass away. The person creating the Will is known as the “testator.” In this document, the testator specifies who should inherit their property, money, or other possessions, and designates a “personal representative” or executor to ensure these wishes are carried out.
In addition to laying out the plan for distributing the assets, a Will can address the care of minor children by naming a guardian in case the testator is no longer around. Basically, a will serves as a roadmap for executing the testator’s wishes after their death.
Without a will, there’s a risk that Florida laws will determine how assets are distributed, potentially conflicting with the testator’s intentions. Crafting a will is a proactive measure to ensure that one’s legacy aligns with their intended wishes and that their loved ones are provided for in the way they desire.
What is A Trust?
A trust is a legal arrangement that allows individuals to manage and distribute their assets in a specific way, providing a level of control and flexibility beyond what a Will alone can offer.
In a trust, there are three main roles: the “grantor” (the person creating the trust), the “trustee” (the person responsible for managing the trust), and the “beneficiary” (the person or entity receiving the trust’s benefits).

Understanding Differences Between Wills and Trusts
Unlike a will, a trust becomes effective while the grantor is still alive, and it can continue after their death. The grantor puts assets, like money or property, into the trust and outlines how they should be handled. Trust is also used to avoid the probate process, which is the legal procedure to validate a will, making the distribution of assets quicker and more private.
Trusts can serve various purposes, such as providing for the financial needs of a surviving spouse, managing assets for minor children, or supporting charitable causes.
Overall, a trust offers a way to manage and distribute assets according to the grantor’s wishes, with potential benefits for privacy and efficiency.
