Estate Planning
Estate planning isn’t just for the wealthy — it’s for anyone who wants to protect their family, preserve their assets, and ensure their wishes are carried out. Whether you need a simple will, power of attorney, healthcare directive, or a comprehensive estate plan, working with a licensed Florida attorney ensures your documents are legally valid and tailored to your unique life circumstances.
An experienced estate planning attorney can help you navigate more complex needs as well — including creating living trusts to avoid probate, planning for long-term care and Medicaid eligibility, and ensuring that blended families or second marriages are fairly and thoughtfully addressed. DIY templates can’t account for these important details, but our personalized legal guidance can.
Protect what matters. Plan with a professional.
Schedule a consultation with a Florida estate planning attorney and gain peace of mind for yourself and security for the people you love.

❓ What happens if I die without an estate plan in Florida?
Answer:
If you die without a will or trust, Florida’s intestacy laws decide how your assets are distributed. This may result in outcomes you didn’t intend, like distant relatives inheriting instead of your spouse or children. It also guarantees your estate will go through probate.
