Florida Estate Planning from Simple Estate to Complex Estates
Estate Planning / Wills and Trusts / Probate Administration
Most families benefit from working with an estate planning lawyer to plan for the transfer of assets after death and the care of children. Families with significant assets and family-owned businesses benefit even more because such families have more options and face a greater after-death tax burden than others.
If your family has a complex estate or significant assets, work with an attorney with the knowledge and experience needed to handle such an estate. Contact the Law Offices of Mitchell A. Sherman, P.A. From our Boynton Beach law office, our firm provides legal counsel and prepares estate planning documents for individuals and families in the greater West Palm Beach-Boca Raton area.
Communicating Your Wishes: A vital part of estate planning is sharing your desires with your loved ones for end-of-life care, for the care of your children, and for the transfer of property to your heirs. These goals can be accomplished with carefully prepared documents, such as:
- Wills and pour-over wills
- Revocable and irrevocable trusts
- Advanced medical directives (living wills)
Caring for Vulnerable People: Children and some adults have special needs that require more care. For children and mentally challenged adults, we can assist you in establishing guardianship. As part of our elder law services, we assist families with Medicare planning and special needs trusts. If a senior needs just a small amount of assistance, we can prepare a medical or financial power of attorney to give an adult child authority to make health or financial decisions.
Protecting Your Assets: You can eliminate the expense of probate through sound estate planning and the use of trusts, saving additional assets for your family. Our firm routinely handles multi-million dollar real estate and business transactions. We understand the issues faced by families with sophisticated estates. Mr. Sherman's understanding of asset protection strategies brings peace of mind.
Estate Administration and Probate
Estate lawyer Mitchell Sherman guides executors and personal representatives through the process of probate and estate administration in Florida. If estate planning was done and there is a will or trust to guide the division of assets, the process of probating the estate may be quite simple. If no planning was done, or significant assets were left out of the plan, the process may be more complex.
