A revocable living trust is the standard Florida tool for passing property without a probate case: assets titled in the trust pass under its terms, privately, on your trustee’s signature. Florida’s Trust Code (Chapter 736) sets the creation requirements — §736.0402 for the trust itself, and will-formality execution under §736.0403(2)(b) for its testamentary aspects. This is general information, not legal advice.
How it works here
1. Answer guided questions
Family, property, successor trustees, distributions — plain-language questions with a free preview of real work before you pay.
2. The trust assembles deterministically
Your trust, pour-over will, power of attorney, and directives assemble from the hash-pinned Florida statute library — your decisions, the statute’s framework, nothing invented (see accurate-by-design).
3. AI attacks the draft
The Opposing Counsel Pass™ reviews the whole plan adversarially before you sign — an automated AI review, with a licensed Florida attorney review available as an optional add-on.
4. Sign — then FUND it
Signing instructions cover the will-formality execution; funding guidance covers retitling accounts and property into the trust, because an unfunded trust avoids nothing.
What it costs
The trust-based Florida plan is a flat $499 — trust, pour-over will, durable power of attorney, and healthcare directives, preview first, no subscription. Compare living-trust market pricing, will vs. trust, or the simpler online will if probate avoidance isn’t your priority — and see the lady bird deed for the homestead-only shortcut.

Frequently asked questions
Can I set up a living trust online in Florida?
Yes. Florida recognizes revocable living trusts created under Chapter 736 (the Florida Trust Code); nothing requires an attorney's office to create one. The trust must satisfy §736.0402 (capacity, intent, a definite beneficiary, duties for the trustee), and its testamentary aspects must be executed with will formalities under §736.0403(2)(b) — which is why the signing instructions matter as much as the document.
How does the online process work?
You answer guided questions about your family, property, successor trustees, and who gets what. The trust is assembled deterministically from EstateDraftFL's source-locked library of Florida statutes — the software records your decisions into the statutory framework and never invents legal language. The plan pairs the trust with a pour-over will, durable power of attorney, and healthcare directives.
What does an online Florida living trust cost?
The trust-based Florida plan is a flat $499 — revocable living trust, pour-over will, durable power of attorney, and healthcare directives together, with a free preview before you pay. Attorney-drafted trust packages typically cost several times that; see the living-trust cost guide for the market picture.
Does a living trust really avoid probate in Florida?
For the assets you actually retitle into it, yes — that is the point. Assets the trust owns pass under the trust's terms without a probate case. Assets left outside the trust still go through probate (caught by the pour-over will), which is why FUNDING the trust — retitling accounts and deeds — is the step that makes the plan work.
Do I still need a will if I have a trust?
Yes — a pour-over will catches anything left outside the trust at death and names guardians for minor children. The trust-based plan includes it automatically.
