In Florida wills, Florida Trusts, and Florida Estate Planning it is important to deal with Pretermitted children. Make sure your Florida Estate Planning Attorney and the estate planning documents deal with them or you can have unexpected results.
A Pretermitted Child A child by birth or adoption who became a child after the execution of the current estate planning and was not mentioned in the will or trust. If a person has a child or children after executing their will and do not prepare a codicil after or name the child in the document the child will be entitled to receive the share they would be allowed if the estate were to pass by Florida intestacy laws.
