Our Law Firm’s Specialties Include:

Asset Protection:

South Florida is one of the most litigious locations in the United States, making the presence of a comprehensive asset protection plan a necessity, not just an option. Whether you have a small nest egg that you count on to pay your bills and are saving for an eventual retirement, or you have a large amount of assets of varying types, there is always the threat that someone will try to take it from you. By using a combination of Trusts, LLCs, Partnerships and other asset protection vehicles, you can assure that your assets are protected from those trying to take them from you.

Probate:

Probate is simply the process of transferring assets from a deceased person to that person’s living beneficiaries. Without any Will, Trust or other estate planning tool, the state of Florida will decide who those beneficiaries will be through the Florida Intestate Statutes. By utilizing a Last Will and Testament, you are able to decide which beneficiaries you wish to inherit from your estate but only after the assets have been drained by the probate process. Probate usually takes between 6 and 18 months and costs between seven and ten percent of the overall estate assets, when taking into account the amount of money needed to satisfy the Court costs, attorneys’ fees, publication costs and creditor claims. Avoiding probate by using the proper estate planning tools is ideal but for those families who lost loved ones before they were able to set up such plans, it is crucial that they hire an experienced probate attorney to limit the costs, fight the creditor claims and guide the family of the deceased through the perils of the probate process.

Estate Planning:

Most people have a misconception of estate planning. Many people don’t think they have the assets to require it. Others think they are too young to worry about it. Estate planning is not contingent on wealth or age. Estate planning is all about those loved ones that we leave behind. A 90 year old with $9 billion and no family, friends or charitable intent is less concerned with what happens to his money than a 40 year old with two young children, a home and a small nest egg. Comprehensive estate planning allows you to choose who raises your children, who manages your affairs and how and when your beneficiaries receive your assets. You can avoid probate, give asset protection to beneficiaries and control assets long after you are gone by using a Revocable Trust. You can reduce or eliminate estate taxes with advanced planning. You can also decide who makes financial and medical decisions for you when you are unable to make them for yourself with a Durable Power of Attorney, a Designation of Health Care Surrogate and a Living Will. If you are alive and have loved ones that you care about, you need to set up a comprehensive estate plan before it is too late.
