Estate Planning, Wills, Trusts, & Powers of Attorney

Planning for what occurs when a person has passed is not an easy task to do. However, it is an important step to take not only for your peace of mind, but for the future of your loved ones. Estate planning can give you some control over what happens after you die or become incapacitated and cannot make your own decisions

Wills

A will provides instructions to probate courts and executors of estates concerning what a person wants to do with their property after they pass away. Another purpose of a will is to override the state’s intestacy statute. Under Florida Statutes § 732.102, 732.103, and 732.104, a decedent’s surviving spouse, children, and other relations will receive their property after their death if a person dies without a will.

Probate

Probate is the process of distributing assets once a loved one passes away if they did not have a trust. There are two main options for probate in Florida. These are formal administration and summary administration

Adoption

Adoption can be an exciting time but also overwhelming if not handled correctly. Any adult that is considered a “fit parent” according to Florida law is qualified to adopt a child. Some of the factors that are taken into consideration for eligibility

Sealing and Expunctions

In Florida, expunging or sealing is a process by which a person destroys or eliminates access to a criminal history record. Both processes provide the same practical benefits: preventing public access to records and protecting the beneficiary from disclosure.
