I Can Help With Your Estate and Probate Goals

As your Lakeland Attorney for Estate & Probate Law, I understand that a comprehensive estate plan involves the drafting of wills, trusts, and other types of planning documents designed to protect your final wishes and the interests of your loved ones.

Estate and probate law encompasses a variety of matters including, but not limited to:

• Planning your estate through the use of wills, trusts, powers of attorney, health care surrogate documents, living wills, and preneed guardianship documents.
• Administering estates upon an individual’s death.
• Proceedings to protect property from creditor claims during an estate proceeding such as homestead petitions and exempt property petitions.
• Administration of trusts.
• Obtaining guardianship of a disable or incapacitated adult or minor.

There are many rules that impact both the drafting of estate planning documents as well as administering estates, trust, and guardianships that must be followed very carefully to avoid potential issues and pitfalls.

It is important to seek proper legal advice to ensure that estate planning objectives can be met, and to ensure that an estate, trust, or guardianship are administered properly.
