Estate Planning Services in Bradenton
Wills
A will is the foundation of most estate plans. Under Florida law (Chapter 732), a valid will ensures your assets are distributed according to your wishes. Without one, the state’s intestacy laws determine who inherits your estate.
Trusts
Trusts offer flexibility, privacy, and potential tax benefits. The Florida Trust Code (Chapter 736) sets out how trusts are created and administered. Whether you want to avoid probate or provide for loved ones over time, we design trust structures tailored to your goals.
Advance Directives & Powers of Attorney
An estate plan should also include documents that protect you during your lifetime. Florida’s Health Care Advance Directives law (Chapter 765) allows you to appoint a health care surrogate or outline your medical preferences. A durable power of attorney ensures someone you trust can manage your financial matters if you become unable to do so.
Probate in Bradenton
When a loved one passes away, their estate may need to go through probate — a court-supervised process of gathering assets, paying debts, and distributing inheritances. The Florida Probate Code (Chapters 731–735) governs how estates are handled.
Our attorneys guide personal representatives and families through each step, including:
- Filing the petition for administration
- Notifying creditors and beneficiaries
- Resolving disputes among heirs
- Closing the estate properly
We help you navigate probate efficiently while ensuring compliance with Florida law.
