What makes Palm Beach distinctive for estate planning?
Palm Beach is home to one of the highest concentrations of ultra-high-net-worth individuals in the United States, including significant multigenerational family wealth, international families with Florida residency, and retirees relocating from high-tax states. Florida has no state income tax and no state estate tax — making it a favorable domicile for estate planning — but federal estate tax planning remains critical for estates above the federal exemption threshold.
Market Context
Palm Beach County is one of the wealthiest counties in the United States, with a significant concentration of family offices, multigenerational estates, international wealth, and philanthropic institutions. Estate planning members in Palm Beach serve clients who require sophisticated strategies for wealth transfer, trust administration, and charitable giving at levels that demand specialized expertise and discretion.
When selecting an estate planning member in Palm Beach, consider: depth in federal estate and gift tax planning, experience with trust structures appropriate to your asset base, familiarity with charitable vehicles such as private foundations and donor-advised funds, credentials such as ACTEC fellowship, and a demonstrated track record handling estates of comparable size and complexity with discretion.

People Also Ask
A Palm Beach estate planning member advises high-net-worth and ultra-high-net-worth individuals and families on wills, revocable and irrevocable trusts, generation-skipping transfers, business succession, charitable giving, and Florida-specific homestead and probate matters.
Florida has no state income tax, no state estate tax, and strong creditor and homestead protections. These features make Florida residency materially advantageous for high-net-worth families compared with high-tax jurisdictions such as New York, New Jersey, and California.
Florida's homestead protections provide unlimited creditor protection for a primary residence on up to one-half acre within a municipality, restrict the ability to devise the homestead away from a spouse or minor child, and offer significant property tax benefits.
Florida permits long-duration trusts that can hold assets for the benefit of multiple generations while minimizing federal generation-skipping transfer tax. These dynasty structures are a core tool for wealth transfer planning for Palm Beach families.
Florida probate is governed by the Florida Probate Code and administered through the circuit court in the county of the decedent's residence. Many estate plans use revocable trusts and beneficiary designations specifically to minimize the assets subject to probate.
No. Florida does not impose a state estate tax or a state inheritance tax, and it has no state income tax. This makes Florida a favorable domicile for estate planning. However, federal estate tax still applies to estates above the federal exemption amount, and careful planning is essential for high-net-worth families regardless of state of residence.
A revocable living trust is a trust you create during your lifetime and retain the power to amend or revoke. It is commonly used to avoid probate, manage incapacity, and maintain privacy of the disposition of assets at death. Whether a revocable trust is the right structure depends on your asset profile, family situation, and goals — an estate planning member can help evaluate fit.
