Gunster shareholder Rachel Lunsford recently authored a column for the Tampa Bay Business Journal discussing the continued migration to Florida’s West Coast and the estate planning considerations that often accompany a change in residency.
Lunsford discusses the importance of properly establishing Florida residency and evaluating estate planning, wealth transfer, and succession strategies after a move. As she notes, "Florida residency is more than a change of address," underscoring the need for thoughtful planning to maximize both tax and non-tax benefits.
