Florida Estate Planning, Probate Administration Lawyer
An estate plan is more than just a will. It is a carefully crafted set of documents that allows you to transfer your assets to others after your death. A sound estate plan also includes a living will, which describes your wishes regarding end-of-life care, and a power of attorney, which names the person you would like to make important decisions for you if you one day become unable to make them yourself.
Everyone needs a well thought out estate plan. Attorney Tamara K. Holden makes the estate planning process clear and understandable. We provide complete estate planning packages that are tailored to your needs.
It Starts With Listening to You
At our law firm, the estate planning process starts by carefully listening to our clients' needs then suggesting appropriate estate planning strategies to help them achieve their goals.
If you have a child with severe disabilities, for example, we may suggest establishing a special needs trust that can provide for his or her care. A living trust is an appropriate solution for many clients. It can protect your assets during your life and offers tax advantages for the trust beneficiaries after your death.
Wills and trusts help preserve your assets for your beneficiaries, whether they are your children, other relatives or a favorite charity.
After a death, our law firm helps clients with probate and estate administration. We inventory and evaluate the estate, pay outstanding debts and transfer the remaining assets according to those named in the will.
Without a will, an estate will go through probate court, a process that can be lengthy and expensive. Don't put the assets you have worked so hard to accumulate at risk. We represent the designated probate representative or next of kin. Most of our probate clients reside out of state when their loved ones resided in Florida.
