WILLS, TRUSTS, ESTATES AND PROBATES IN ORLANDO, FLORIDA
You’ve worked hard to build an estate for your family. Why would you leave behind a document that doesn’t fulfill its intended legal functions?
WILLS
Establishing a will is one of the most important legal actions that can be undertaken by an individual. As such, it is important to draft a clear and concise document that helps alleviate familial stress instead of adding to it. 

When you hire an experienced attorney to help draft your will, you are ensuring that your wishes are carried out according to your specifications — offering peace of mind to both you and your family.
TRUSTS
Trusts are instrumental in establishing a safe space for your assets and making certain that they are distributed according to your wishes upon your death. With a trust, an individual is able to define clear conditions, instructions and terms that are to be carried out upon your death or incapacitation. 

When a trust is established, the ownership of your assets is transferred to the name of the trust. Legally speaking, when held by a trust those assets are no longer your property but belong to the trust. This allows for the mechanisms built into the trust by you and your attorney to be set in motion, carrying out your wishes upon the event of your death.
ESTATES
Planning your estate is one of the greatest gifts an individual can grant their family. Not only does it ensure peace of mind for your loved ones, but for yourself as well. Having a clear set of guidelines lessens the load of a bereaved family by eliminating tension and confusion that may arise from the situation. 
PROBATES
Upon the death of a loved one, family and friends are often left to sort out the transfer of inherited property. In some situations, this decision goes to court in order to determine the correct course of action. 

The court proceeding that makes this determination is called probate, and navigating it can be time-consuming and frustrating. Having assets locked up in probate can be the cause of a lot of stress for grieving family members. Hiring an experienced attorney ensures that the process is as streamlined as possible, letting you return to things that matter in as short a time as possible.
