Not only did she provide excellent advice, she was extremely knowledgeable about the probate issue I had and was kind and respectful to me. I will highly recommend her services."

Absolutely. Estate planning isn't reserved for the wealthy. It ensures your wishes are honored, designates who cares for your children or dependents, and protects your family from costly legal disputes — regardless of the size of your estate.
A will takes effect at death and goes through the public probate process. A trust can take effect immediately, bypasses probate, and offers greater control over how and when your assets are distributed. Our attorneys help you determine the right approach — or combination — for your specific situation.
Probate is the court-supervised legal process of administering a deceased person's estate. In Florida, the timeline and complexity vary based on estate size, outstanding debts, and family circumstances. We guide your family through every step to make the process as efficient and stress-free as possible.
Yes. While our office is located in Boca Raton, we provide estate planning and probate services across all 67 Florida counties. We also offer phone consultations and can arrange in-person meetings outside regular business hours when needed.
A Special Needs Trust allows you to provide financially for a loved one with disabilities without disqualifying them from government benefits like Medicaid or SSI. It can cover therapies, specialized equipment, travel, medical second opinions, and other quality-of-life expenses.
Yes. We have long been committed to serving all families. Our LGBT planning services give same-sex couples and co-habiting partners the comprehensive estate and life planning tools they need to protect each other and their families under Florida and federal law.
Medicaid planning involves legally structuring your assets so that you or a loved one can qualify for Medicaid benefits when long-term care is needed, while preserving as much of the estate as possible for your family. Proper planning well in advance is key to protecting both care access and family wealth.
