The next thing is to make the declaration that it is your intent to draft a will.

In Florida, you can make specific devises (such as saying "To [Friend o Family Member's Name], I give my collection of baseball cards located in the top drawer of my study") or a general devise (such as saying "I give my entire estate to [Friend or Family Member's Name]"). For specific devises, describe the property (what it is and where it is located) sufficiently so that no dispute can arise.
Please keep in mind you will need to update your will several times in your life time as your situation changes. A will should be update at least once every five years.
If you have any questions you should consult legal counsel right away.

I have an opportunity to inherit. But I am interested in the question: how do I know how much is inheritance worth? And whether it makes sense to accept the inheritance?
