Estate Planning Services in Venice

Estate planning ensures your family is protected and your wishes are clear. Whether you need a simple will or a comprehensive plan with trusts and powers of attorney, we create customized documents based on your situation.

Most Venice families need at least three documents: a will (to name guardians and distribute property), a financial power of attorney (so someone can manage your finances if you can't), and a healthcare surrogate designation (so someone can make medical decisions if you're unable to).

Will Preparation for Venice Residents

A will is the foundation of any estate plan. It names your beneficiaries, designates guardians for minor children, and appoints someone to handle your estate. Without a will, Florida law decides who inherits your property, and the court chooses your children's guardian.

We draft wills that are legally valid under Florida law, properly witnessed, and clear about your intentions. We also store copies securely so your family can find them when needed.

Living Trusts and Lady Bird Deeds

If avoiding probate is important to you, we can set up a living trust. A living trust holds your assets during your lifetime and distributes them to your beneficiaries when you pass away — all without court involvement. Trusts offer privacy, control, and efficiency.

For Venice homeowners, Lady Bird Deeds are another option. They transfer your home to your beneficiaries automatically when you die, avoiding probate for your real estate. You keep full control while you're alive, including the right to sell or refinance.

We file court documents, notify creditors, inventory assets, and handle all legal requirements. Probate can be confusing, especially during a difficult time, and we're here to make it easier.

We also help with comprehensive estate planning and wills and trusts for families throughout Venice, Englewood, and Osprey.
