Orlando, FL asked in Estate Planning for Florida

Q: Where can I find help for a friend who is on limited income, medicaid, etc and wants to update his will?

This person owns a house which has no mortgage, but hasn't updated his will for over 20 years. He asked me for recommendations, so I am trying to research his least costly options.

A: Each county usually provides some pro-bono services for people in need and unable to afford services. Many law offices will also work with people in need based on on their circumstances and ability to pay. You can also contact the State of Florida Bar if you cannot find a county bar or individual attorney that is able to help.
