Estate Planning Services in Sarasota
Wills
Florida law (Chapter 732) requires specific formalities for a valid will. Without one, your assets will be distributed under the state’s intestacy laws. We draft wills that clearly express your wishes and protect your loved ones.
Trusts
Trusts can help you avoid probate, manage assets during your lifetime, and provide for beneficiaries after your passing. The Florida Trust Code (Chapter 736) governs how trusts are created and administered. We design trusts tailored to your goals, whether for asset protection or tax planning.
Advance Directives & Powers of Attorney
A complete estate plan includes protections for your health care and finances. Florida’s Health Care Advance Directives law (Chapter 765) allows you to name a surrogate to make medical decisions if you cannot. A durable power of attorney ensures your financial matters are handled responsibly.
Probate in Sarasota
Probate is the legal process of administering a decedent’s estate, and the Florida Probate Code (Chapters 731–735) governs how it is handled. Duties of a personal representative include filing court documents, notifying heirs, paying debts, and distributing assets.
Our attorneys provide guidance through:
- Probate petitions and filings
- Creditor notifications
- Dispute resolution among heirs
- Estate closing and final accounting
