Trust and Estate Planning
Preparing your Power of Attorney, Wills, Deeds, and Trusts.
Estate planning permits a person to designate how their assets are to be distributed when they pass away. Typically this involves wills, trusts, and deeds. In Florida, the law requires that these documents be drafted and executed in a specific and formal manner. For a person’s wishes to be effective, it is critical that the estate plan be created by an experienced Florida attorney.
Planning also includes the use of Advance Directives. These documents give your loved ones the authority to act on your behalf when you cannot act for yourself. These include the durable power of attorney, health care surrogate designation, and living will. Amy will help guide you through making these important decisions and getting the legal documentation in place to support those decisions. Planning for incapacity while you are alive is a gift that will save your loved one’s time and money and alleviate the stress of trying to perform your loved one’s last wishes.
