Our Areas of Practice
Wills
A will is the foundation of any estate plan. We can help you clearly outline how your assets should be distributed, who should care for your minor children, and how to make the process as simple as possible for your family. Without a will, Florida's intestacy laws decide who gets what, and that may not match your wishes. Let's work to make sure your voice is heard
Trusts
Trusts offer privacy, control, and flexibility that a will alone cannot provide. Whether you need a revocable living trust to avoid probate or an irrevocable trust to meet specific estate planning goals, Carol can help you choose the right structure for your situation. Trusts may also help protect beneficiaries who may not be ready to manage a large inheritance all at once.
Power of Attorney
A durable power of attorney allows someone you trust to handle your financial affairs if you become unable to do so. Without one, your family may need to go through a lengthy and expensive guardianship process. Carol works to ensure your power of attorney is properly drafted and tailored to your needs, to help keep your finances in good hands
Advance Directives
Advance directives, including living wills and healthcare surrogates, let you specify your medical wishes in advance. These documents can give your family clear guidance during difficult times and may help prevent conflicts about what you would have wanted. Carol can help you put these protections in place so your healthcare decisions can remain yours.
Probate Services
Probate can be time-consuming, expensive, and public. Carol helps build strategies that may help your family avoid probate altogether, including revocable living trusts, beneficiary designations, and proper asset coordination. By planning ahead, you may be able to save your loved ones months of court proceedings and potentially thousands of dollars in fees.
Guardianship Services
When a loved one can no longer make decisions for themselves, guardianship may be necessary. Carol represents families in adult guardianship cases, including filing petitions, representing clients during incapacity hearings, and providing ongoing support for guardians. She also helps parents plan guardianship arrangements for minor children to protect their future.

Frequently Asked Questions
Get answers to common questions about estate planning, probate, and guardianship
Do I really need an estate plan if I don’t have a lot of assets?
Yes! Estate planning isn’t just for the wealthy. It’s about ensuring your wishes are followed, protecting your children, and avoiding family conflicts. Even modest estates benefit from proper planning to avoid probate and ensure assets go to the right people.
How much does estate planning cost?
We believe in transparent pricing. Costs vary based on complexity, but we offer flat-rate pricing when possible. During your consultation, we’ll provide a clear estimate with no hidden fees or surprises.
What’s the difference between a will and a trust?
A will goes through probate court and takes effect after death. A trust can help avoid probate, may protect assets during your lifetime, and can provide more control over how and when beneficiaries receive assets. We’ll help you determine which is right for your situation.
How long does the probate process take in Florida?
Florida probate typically takes 6-12 months, but can be longer for complex estates. We work efficiently to move the process along while ensuring everything is done correctly and in compliance with Florida law.
Can I just handle probate myself without and attorney?
While technically possible for very simple estates, probate involves court filings, deadlines, creditor notices, and legal requirements. Mistakes can be costly and delay distribution. An experienced attorney can help ensure the process is done right the first time.
