Heidi Webb, located in Daytona. She is fantastic!

~ Shoshanah M

Heidi's willingness to have meetings or zoom calls has been very helpful. My in-laws used her for their estate planning, and now we're tasked with managing the process. Questions always come up, and her policy of free telephone/zoom calls greatly simplifies things for us and encourages us to reach out to her. She is extremely knowledgeable in this area and has a great staff backing her up. I would recommend her to anyone looking for assistance in estate planning in the area.

ASK HEIDI: Do I need to change my will and beneficiary designations after I divorce if I want my ex-spouse to still inherit as if we were married?

 Short Answer:  Yes, divorce does void beneficiary designations as well as will provisions.

Divorce Changes Your Will

Ask Heidi

Why it’s Important:  If you want your ex-spouse to still to inherit in your estate as it was written when you were married, this needs to be addressed again after your divorce.  If you do not update the Estate documents, your estate will be deemed intestate even though you have a will.  The state will distribute your assets and family that you may not have a relationship with will end up with assets you fully intended to go to a former spouse.
