ELITE PRACTICE AREAS
Estate Planning (Wills & Trusts)
A solid estate plan will protect you, your family, and your assets during your lifetime and beyond. Your estate plan begins with a will or a living trust to pass assets after your death, but a comprehensive estate plan includes many other elements.
Probate Services
Probate is the legal process of validating and administering a deceased person’s will and identifying and distributing the decedent’s assets. In situations where there is no will, probate is often necessary to administer the decedent’s estate. This is called probate for intestate succession. This short explanation of probate may suggest that the process is simple and easy. However, quite the opposite is true for many Floridians.
Trust Administration
When you’ve been appointed trustee or are the successor trustee for a living trust and the grantor passes away, you take on serious responsibilities. Of course, you will feel a sense of obligation to the friend or loved one who entrusted you with the management of the trust assets, but that’s only the beginning. Florida law sets forth specific duties for a trustee to follow in the administration of the trust estate.
Medicaid Spend Down Planning
The best time to plan for long-term care assistance is long before you need it. However, many people are caught unprepared. With the right guidance, the assistance you need may still be available.
Special Needs Planning
While there are many ways to provide for the needs of healthy heirs and beneficiaries, planning for a loved one with special needs requires great care and attention. Leaving money or property directly to a disabled person in your will or making her a beneficiary of a standard living trust can put critical benefits at risk.
Asset and Divorce Protection
When you marry, you hope it will be forever. But, responsible planning requires considering and preparing for every eventuality. Second marriages and blended families make it more important than ever for both parties to protect their assets and their heirs.
