I have experience in designing, drafting and funding Revocable, Grantor, Inter Vivos, Living, Life Insurance and Irrevocable Trusts. I also have extensive experience in guiding Successor Trustees with an efficient Florida Trust Administration.
Each probate is unique, deserves efficiency, and requires customized attention during the legal process. I understand that Probate can be emotional, and I treat each case with the sensitivity and compassion that we would want for my own family.
Estate Planning requires a blend of finesse, strategic planning, and sensitivity to family dynamics. I view an Estate Plan as the opportunity to create a legacy that can protect your assets, avoid probate, and minimize taxes for you and your heirs.
I recognize that there is no "one size fits all" approach to Real Estate. I represent buyers and sellers in residential and commercial transactions. I handle real estate in probate. I advise part-time and international property owners.
Tax law overlaps with every practice area I offer. I leverage my knowledge of Federal and State tax laws to add additional value to my clients in all practice areas and help them save hard earned money.
I set up various types of business including Corporations, Limited Liability Companies (LLCs), C-Corporations, S-Corporations, and Partnerships. I take a holistic approach that addresses business law, tax law, and asset protection.
