Estate Planning Tools That Work for You | Merritt Island Wills and Trusts Attorneys
We assist clients with planning for their financial future using a variety of estate planning tools, including:
- Wills. Wills are valuable tools that allow you to control how your assets will be distributed after your death. Our attorneys are experienced in drafting and enforcing wills in probate actions.
- Powers of attorney. Our lawyers can assist you in establishing powers of attorney - choosing willing representatives to make important decisions for you if you become incapacitated or are otherwise indisposed (such as being out of the country).
- Trusts. Trusts allow people to preserve assets, minimize estate taxes, and dedicate them for specific purposes, such as the education and support of a minor or nursing care for a disabled or elderly loved one. Depending on your needs and circumstances, we can assist you in establishing an irrevocable or revocable trust. Properly funded trusts eliminate the need for probate after your death.
- Health care directives. Using documents such as advance health care directives, physician directives and living wills, our attorneys can help you set conditions for your medical care as you near the end of your life.
- Probate and trust administration. We assist executors and personal representative throughout probate proceedings and represent and advise trustees on how to manage and administer trusts . If desired, you may retain our attorneys to handle details related to your estate, including executing your will, handling probate actions, and performing other duties such as creating an inventory of your estate, filing tax returns, paying debts and distributing your assets according to your will or trust.
- Asset protection. Many business owners, physicians, lawyers and other professionals need to protect personal assets from lawsuits. We can help you protect your assets and business interests using family limited partnerships (FLPs), land trusts, annuities, life insurance, homestead protections, and other methods.
- Prenuptial/pre-marital agreements. If you are married (or remarrying) and have assets or children to protect, crafting a pre-marital agreement could be a wise choice. Our lawyers can help you draft a prenuptial or antenuptial agreement that protects your interests.
- Real estate. Our attorneys are experienced in residential and commercial real estate matters. We can help you acquire title insurance, execute a purchase or sale, or draft, review or defend a contract or lease.
