Note From the Editor
A great exception is made in this issue to Trusts & Estates' usual rules about article length. David F. Powell's and Tye J. Klooster's “Blockbuster Guide to Drafting Florida Trusts,” starting on p. 47, fills nearly 12 full pages. Normally, we confine features to about five pages. Though many readers are lawyers adept at slogging through tomes, the editors and writers of Trusts & Estates strive to pack the most information into the least space out of respect for our readers' time. Extra space is warranted for Powell's and Klooster's mini-treatise because all trust forms in Florida must be updated now that state's new trust code is in effect. This effort requires insight and precision. Powell, one of drafters of the Florida Trust Code, is well-suited to make suggestions, so his article with Klooster is an excellent start. Also, the two have been so helpful as to draft sample trust provisions, available at trustsandestates.com in the Bookstore & Library's “Supporting Documents” section. Look for this icon:
