Estate Planning Attorney

Estate planning is a general term used to describe your overall plan to govern the control and disposition of your hard-earned resources in the event of disability, incapacity, or death. It’s not enough to just have a will. Attorneys experienced in Estate Planning know this. In addition to discussing types of wills, your lawyer should ask you about your future plans for health care.

Generally, your estate plan should include:  a Will or Revocable Living Trust with a Pour-Over Will; Power of Attorney, a health care directive and designation of a health care surrogate; and designations of guardianship (if applicable). Other concerns, such as charitable giving and organ donation should be discussed in detail.

Because every client’s situation is unique, it requires an in-depth analysis to determine your specific goals and concerns. We have streamlined the process for you by providing this Estate PlanningQuestionnaire . Having it filled out in advance of our first appointment will save you valuable time.

In preparing wills, attorneys have the moral responsibility to ensure your desires will be carried out. That’s why thorough Estate Planning involves more than just filling out wills, Power of Attorney, and other documents. The process often involves questions that are more appropriately directed to accountants and financial professionals.  Not every estate planning attorney in Florida will take a proactive course of action on your behalf to ensure that your goals are met. We do. We will partner with your financial advisers at your specific direction in order to create a team approach to your estate planning. We explain how we do this in our New Client Process.
