Estate Planning

Estate planning is far more than just putting pen to paper on a will. It's about crafting a legacy, preserving your life's work, and ensuring your loved ones are cared for long after you're gone. Our experienced attorneys will work with you to:

  • Create a comprehensive estate plan tailored to your unique situation, including plans for blended families and unmarried couples in committed long-term relationships
  • Minimize potential tax burdens on your beneficiaries
  • Establish trusts to protect your assets and provide for your family
  • Update your plan as your life circumstances change due to factors such as marriage or divorce, the birth of a child, retirement, or health challenges

Remember, estate planning isn't about facing the end—it's about celebrating the life you've built and ensuring its impact resonates for generations to come. 

Gun Trusts

Firearms are more than just possessions—they're heirlooms, symbols of tradition, and guardians of liberty. But in a world of complex regulations, how do you ensure your cherished firearms remain a legacy and not a legal headache? Enter the gun trust—a powerful legal tool that's changing the game for firearm owners in Jupiter Island and beyond.

Our gun trust services include:

  • Creating a trust that complies with federal and state laws
  • Ensuring smooth transfer of firearms to beneficiaries, including the transfer of firearms that have a special sentimental value
  • Protecting your privacy and avoiding probate for firearms
  • Allowing multiple users to possess and use the firearms legally

A well-crafted gun trust can help you maintain control over your firearms while providing clear instructions for their future use and transfer.

Probate and Trust Administration

Losing a loved one is difficult enough without the added stress of going through lengthy legal procedures to settle their estate. Our experienced Jupiter Island probate and trust administration attorneys assist clients with:

  • Guiding executors and trustees through their duties
  • Handling the probate process efficiently
  • Resolving disputes among beneficiaries
  • Distributing assets according to the deceased's wishes

Our goal is to simplify this process, allowing you to focus on grieving the loss of your loved one and honoring their memory in the most appropriate way possible.

Guardianship

When a family member becomes incapacitated due to illness or injury, establishing guardianship allows you to make legal, medical, and/or financial decisions on their behalf. We help by:

  • Explaining the Florida guardianship process and your options
  • Filing necessary legal documents
  • Representing you in court proceedings
  • Ensuring the ward's best interests are protected

We approach each guardianship case with sensitivity, understanding the emotional challenges involved. We take the time to understand each case's unique circumstances, offering tailored advice and solutions that best suit the needs of all parties.
