While many of the concepts are the same, there can be huge differences between commercial and residential real estate.
Commercial real estate transactions can be far more diverse and wide-ranging than residential sales.
There may be greater concerns about hazardous materials or zoning issues.
Concerns about Landlord/Tenant issues and there will always be questions about the suitability of the property's location for your business needs.
Furthermore, in many instances, you aren't afforded the same consumer protections on a commercial real estate deal that may be available when you purchase a residence.

A Will is a document that expresses your "will" regarding what you want done with the assets of your estate.
If you are an adult, you need a Will regardless of your age, whether you are single or married and whether you own property jointly with another.
You even need a Will if you have a Living Trust (it's called a pour over Will).
If you don't have a Will, the Florida Probate Code dictates how any assets in your name will be distributed.
In order to administer property that passes from a decedent to his or her heirs by the terms of a Will, probate proceedings are necessary.

Living Trusts are a way to avoid probate.
Assets held in the name of the Trustee of a Living Trust pass to heirs and beneficiaries without probate.
The Trustee of the living Trust can be you.
When you create a Living Trust, you never lose control of any of your assets or property because you are the Trustee.
Thus, by creating a Living Trust, you save your heirs the costs of probate.
When you create Living Trusts, you can specify that if you become incapacitated a person of your choosing can take over your property and take care of you.
