Estate Planning Services in Lakewood Ranch
Wills
Without a valid will, Florida’s intestacy laws (Chapter 732) determine how your property is distributed. We draft wills that ensure your wishes are honored and your loved ones are cared for.
Trusts
Trusts can provide greater flexibility, privacy, and asset protection. The Florida Trust Code (Chapter 736) governs how trusts operate. Whether you want to avoid probate or provide structured support for your beneficiaries, we can help you create a plan that fits your goals.
Advance Directives & Powers of Attorney
Estate planning should also address who will make decisions if you cannot. Florida’s Health Care Advance Directives statute (Chapter 765) allows you to appoint a health care surrogate. A durable power of attorney ensures your financial matters are handled according to your wishes.
Probate in Lakewood Ranch
Probate is often necessary to transfer assets after death. The Florida Probate Code (Chapters 731–735) sets out the process. Personal representatives must secure assets, notify creditors, and distribute inheritances.
We assist with:
- Probate petitions
- Creditor claims and notifications
- Beneficiary disputes
- Estate administration and closing
