Question

Do living trusts or testamentary trusts have to be recorded in FL?

Answer

Living trusts are not typically recorded as changes can be made. Testamentary trusts are those in effect through a will which would have to be probated to be effective. They are not recorded.

Answer

A trust is a private document and is not recorded. There are some probate situations where a proof of trust must be filed though.
