Florida Governor Rick Scott signed Senate Bill 492 on June 17, 2013, which makes new law for issues involving estate planning, trusts and estates. Among other things, a gift to a lawyer under a will drafted by that lawyer is void. The new law also provides guidance on personal jurisdiction in trust lawsuits, service of process issues and rules for filing a caveat or estate tax return .
