Augmented Estate
Augmented Estate is effective October 1, 1999, and applies to the estates of those who die on or after October 1, 2001. Changes to the rights of the surviving spouse will make planning for an incapacitated spouse more effective than ever.
End of Life Decisions
The 1999 Florida Legislature made some subtle, yet significant changes in the law regarding end of life planning.  All references to advance directives include Living Wills and Designations of Health Care Surrogate. End of Life Decisions, effective October 1, 1999, is an issue to review even if prior end of life decisions have been made.
