  • What will happen to your loved ones if something happens to you?
  • Have adequate provisions been made to ensure your family’s financial security and make things as easy as possible?
  • Who will handle your financial affairs or make medical decisions for you if you are unable to do so for yourself?
  • Will the inheritances for adult children be protected from unwise spending habits or from the risk of losing half in a future divorce?

These are just some of the many questions that we help clients address to provide peace of mind and relief that comes with planning. Proper planning typically provides a sense of comfort to clients who now have a blueprint in place for loved ones to follow in case something unfortunate were to happen. But the completion of a proper plan is just the start.

People Change – Plans Change – Wealth Preservation Is a Constant

Estate planning must be fluid to adapt to the typical lifestyle changes that naturally occur over a lifetime.

Estate Planning Is Not Just About End-of-life Issues.

From establishing domicile to tax considerations, to business concerns, we hope to help you with current challenges. A baby is born.  A family member passes on.  An inheritance is received.  A business is lost.  A home is bought.  Property is sold.  Our board-certified Stuart estate planning lawyer takes a very different approach from what you might have expected. Our goal is to create lifelong relationships with each of our clients and to guide and manage your estate plan for the rest of your life.

    Read More about estate planning
    Probate is the legal process of satisfying creditor claims under life’s most difficult circumstances – the passing of a loved one. Without a professionally designed and executed will, without appropriate trusts, the process can be excruciating as a court-appointed stranger dissolves the possessions accumulated over a lifetime in order to satisfy creditors known and unknown, including the court-appointed executor's fees.

    Wills, Probate & Trusts

    Probate & Trust Administration

    When an individual passes away owning assets in his/her name, the individual’s estate must enter the probate process in the court system. The primary purpose of probate, from a legal perspective, is to satisfy creditor claims against the estate. Most estates owe money to someone at the time of the decedent’s death. Common examples of estate creditors include utility companies, healthcare providers, mortgage companies, and credit card companies.  Without a legally crafted will and the protection of professionally designed and created trusts, Florida intestacy laws will be invoked, intestate succession will be applied, and asset protection responsibility will often be placed by the probate court in the hands of an individual unknown to you or your family.
