Estate Planning

The scope of the Firm's services includes estate planning and trust formation and management and probate administration.

We will analyze the clients' situation, make recommendations, and draft the necessary documents needed to put the plan into effect. For unique estate planning situations, we also provide clients services regarding business entity formation. An important part of this entire process involves ensuring that a client understands the meaning and effect of the documents signed. In response to major changes in the law or in a client's financial or family circumstances, we assist the client in making any necessary changes to his/her estate plan.

Additionally, we are often called upon by non-Florida attorneys to review documents from a Florida law perspective and assist clients with declaring Florida as their domicile. We are knowledgeable on Florida's homestead law and provide services regarding obtaining and maintaining the benefits of Florida's Save our Homes assessment cap, particularly when it pertains to a residence held in a trust. Additionally, we frequently co-counsel with firms which may not have a trust and estate practice.
