Estate planning, wills, trusts, and probate are the tools created to assure satisfactory wealth preservation, and proper distribution.

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 2008.

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 – Wealth Preservation Is a Constant

Estate planning 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.

Estate Planning

Estate planning is about more than your money.

Young families must focus on daily needs. Attorneys in the Law Offices of John Mangan are focused on your future.

Estate planning is about the future of your family. And it’s about leaving a legacy on the world around you. It is important to create an estate plan that prioritizes wealth preservation. But it’s just as important to ensure that the fruits of your labor are smoothly passed to your spouse, children and grandchildren to enjoy and that you have the opportunity to support causes that you believe in. Wills and trusts are powerful tools. and when they are professionally created and administered, they provide asset protection as your estate passes through probate court. At the Law Offices of John Mangan, P.A., our Martin County attorneys work with you to create an estate plan that enables you to relax knowing that your loved ones will be provided for if something were to happen to you.

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.

One of the biggest benefits of 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.
