Trust and Estate Planning

Preparing wills, trusts, powers of attorney and other essential documents

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 are the documents that give your loved ones the authority to act on your behalf when you are not able to act for yourself. These include the durable power of attorney, health care surrogate designation, and living will.

Amy Dow Law is here to help guide you through the process of 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 can save your loved ones time, money and stress later.

If you have estate planning-related legal questions or needs, call today to schedule a consultation directly with Amy Dow.

Probate and Guardianship

Providing assistance in areas of probate and guardianship

PROBATE – Dealing with the death of a loved one is always a difficult experience and having to go through probate is never easy. Amy Dow is here to help your family make that process as painless as possible. In fact, sometimes probate may not even be necessary. Either way, Amy can help you evaluate what your options are and guide your family toward a solution.

GUARDIANSHIP – As people age, some become incapacitated or lose the ability to make good decisions. No family wants to see a loved one make poor choices that are damaging to them or their family. Amy Dow Law helps families to establish legally binding guardianship agreements in those instances where an elder is no longer able to handle proper decision making on their own behalf. To find out if guardianship (or perhaps less drastic measures such as a power of attorney or a limited or voluntary guardianship) may be appropriate for your situation, call Amy Dow today.
