A Will Is Not Enough In Florida.

Written by Florida attorney Amelia E. Pohl as part of a series of state-specific books, A Will Is Not Enough In Florida is now available, as well as editions for California, New York, New Jersey, Maryland, and Virginia. Each book is co-authored by an experienced estate planning attorney in the given state, and each explains state law as it relates to estate planning.

More than wills and trusts, they discuss things like the laws of interstate succession, health care advance directives, powers of attorney, and the Uniform Gift to Minors Act.

The series is unique in that each book contains a comprehensive chapter on Medicaid estate planning for the given state. Federal and state regulations are described as they relate to income and asset eligibility, spousal impoverishment, exempt resources, spend-down options, Medicaid annuities, preserving the homestead from recovery, and the basic Medicaid appeals process.

Although the book is written for the general public, it is solidly based on federal and state law, giving codes and names and case law cites, and containing references to F.S. [section] 207.
