Estate Planning Issues in a Dissolution of Marriage

S. Dresden Brunner, Esq., is a sole practitioner in Naples, Florida who focuses her professional efforts in the areas of will, trusts and estates.  Among her many accomplishments, she has authored two law review articles, has co-authored an article for The Florida Bar Journal, and lectures on trust and estate issues to Florida lawyers, financial advisors, and accountants.

The article above addresses several interesting and not-so-uncommon questions, such as: Could the divorcing spouse of an incapacitated person receive the incapacitated party’s estate?  Can a power of attorney be effective despite the holder filing for divorce? (spoiler: thankfully no!).

The article is a terrific brush-up on the intersection between Family Law and Estate Planning in Florida.
