Having served people throughout the Florida Panhandle legal community for over two decades I have earned the trust of my clients and community.
I am frequently asked to present seminars and workshops on these practice areas to my colleagues.

Since 1988 I've worked to achieve a positive outcome for my estate planning clients.
Estate planning, taxes, rules and laws change yearly.
A lawyer must keep up with these frequent changes and understand how they apply on a case-by-case basis.
Additionally a qualified lawyer must also be willing to work closely with each client, understanding that client's needs in order to produce an outcome that is truly right for that client.
My clients benefit from the hands-on representation I provide in every case, regardless of practice area.

If you make an arrangement to have someone else (called a "Trustee") look after asset (s) upon your death as per the terms of your will this is a trust.
A "revocable" or "living trust" is created for you or someone else while you're still alive, instead of one created at your death.
A trust created or that comes into existence after death is almost always irrevocable.
A revocable trust in Florida requires a two year statute of nonclaim.
This means that your designated Trustee must wait two years after you die to see if there are any creditors that must be paid.

For more than 25 years, I have been guiding people in Pensacola and the Florida Panhandle through the Florida probate process.
My goal is to make certain everything is done in accordance with your loved one's wishes, minimizing the time, cost and effort involved.
If you have lost a parent or another family member, the probate process may be necessary to ensure proper distribution of your loved one's assets.
If you have lost a spouse, the probate process may be unnecessary.
Frequently, everything is co-owned between spouses, so all assets automatically pass to you under Florida law.
