At the Law Offices of John Mangan, P.A., our Martin County attorney work with you to create an estate plan that enables you to relax knowing that your loved ones will be taken care of if something were to happen.

The Stuart Estate Planning Lawyer
Estate Planning, Wills, Trusts, and Probate
Estate planning, wills, trusts, and probate are the tools created to assure fulfillment of your final wishes. They also protect your assets from creditor claims and excessive tax obligations. John Mangan, the Board Certified, Stuart estate planning lawyer, in one of the “Fastest Growing Law Firms in the United States,” has been applying these tools while carving uniquely designed estate plans for each client since 2005.
- 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 for them?
- 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 in order 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
An estate plan must be fluid to adapt to the typical lifestyle changes that naturally occur over a lifetime. 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 come to expect. Our goal is to create lifelong relationships with each of our clients, to guide and manage your estate plan for the rest of your life.
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.

A little over a year ago we had a really crazy event happen in our family. It was a bit scary and overwhelming at the time. I called a very trusted friend and asked her what I should do about this. She gave me some good advice and then told me that Bernie (my husband) and I needed to find a great lawyer to get our will done. We have two little boys and we knew since before they were born that we needed to get this done, but I guess we always kept it at the back burner – so to speak. I started...

"Hello, John. I just wanted to say thank you for everything you have done for my husband and I. I was recently diagnosed with a brain tumor and it has been such a HUGE relief to know that all the important stuff is already done. My tumor looks to be benign and I am in the “wait and watch” phase, but I am going to be visiting a lot of doctors in different states because I want to make sure that I am doing the right thing and that I have the right doctors doing it. Thanks to you: my HIPPA, Health Care Surrogate, and...

"I cannot recommend John Mangan enough for his work. He was extremely thorough, very patient and I thought very forward thinking bringing up scenarios that would never have occurred to me. He nursed my wife and I along and we are completely satisfied with the results and the peace of mind that comes with having John as our Estate planner."

Palm City Trusts & Estates Attorney – Building Relationships
One of the biggest benefits to working with a trusts and estates lawyer in Martin County who values relationship building with clients is the fact that your plan is much more likely to work as intended. You can have the perfect plan created today, but as you and your family mature, your financial picture changes, and tax laws change. Will that plan still be so perfect years from now? Perhaps not.
By working with a lawyer who strives to build and maintain a close client relationship, the chances that the plan will work as intended, with appropriate updating when needed, are greatly increased. Our Palm City trusts and estates attorney works on a flat-fee basis in most cases for our planning services, agreed to ahead of time so that there are no surprises. We’ve thrown out the time clocks so you don’t have to be afraid to call or email us with a quick question. In fact, we encourage communication and dialogue with our clients, and our clients hear from us regularly.
We provide a variety of services, including estate planning, asset protection planning, guardianship, firearms planning, probate administration, and trust administration. But all of our services can be summed up in a simple mission: We exist to help our clients preserve and protect their legacy and guide them and their loved ones through the “storms of life” when they arise. Please contact us to learn more about how we can help. We look forward to helping you preserve and protect your legacy and build a strong foundation for your loved ones.
