Estate Planning
The attorneys and staff in our Wills, Trusts, and Estates group have helped thousands of clients plan for the transitions in life that affect family members and loved ones. We have also helped carry out the plans created by wills, trusts, powers of attorney, and other planning methods. For those cases where good planning was not in place, we have helped families get through difficult moments in life caused by incapacity and death. Our experience and ongoing education keeps us focused on the need for good planning.
Estate Planning. Our firm has assisted thousands of clients from Sarasota, Bradenton, Palmetto, Parrish, Anna Maria, Holmes Beach, Lakewood Ranch, and the greater Sarasota-Manatee County area with wills, living wills, advanced directives and healthcare documents, powers of attorney, revocable and irrevocable trusts, charitable trusts, pre-nuptial and post-nuptial agreements, estate planning, and the administration of probate, trust, and guardianship estates. We monitor and pay careful attention to changes in the law that apply to these areas. Our goal is to help our clients consider their options and then work toward developing the plan that fits the client’s needs and wishes. We take the time to thoroughly listen to each client’s needs and desires in order to prepare the most appropriate estate planning documents for each client.
