Living trust forms

I want to make a living trust. Is it necessary to have a

''Florida'' form, or just a standard form. Thanks.

NOTE: This communication is NOT intended as and should NOT be interpreted as legal advice. Rather, it is ONLY provided FOR a general discussion of legal principles. The facts you provided DO NOT provide ALL of the details necessary to FULLY and PROPERLY respond to the question you have posed. You should NOT rely on or take action based on this communication without first presenting ALL relevant details to a competent attorney in your jurisdiction and then receiving the attorney�s individualized advice for you. By reading the Response below, you AGREE: (i) that the opinion expressed is NOT intended to be legal advice and DOES NOT constitute legal advice to you or any person reviewing such information; and (ii) DOES NOT, create any attorney-client relationship and WILL NOT be considered an attorney-client privileged communication. If you do not agree, then stop right here, and do not read any further.

Reply: Rarely will a form fit the specifics that are needed for a particular case. The form is just a basis to buld upon. In addition each state has its own laws and requirements. If the law is not complied with the document may not be enforceable. We recommend that you retain an attorney in your area to be assured that the document will comply with the requriements of the law.

It's not a good idea to use forms ready to fill for such important matters as your estate. But, if you must, it can't hurt to use the state specific ones.
