Estate Planning Attorneys in Florida

An estate planning attorney helps coordinate a broader plan, which may include wills, trusts, powers of attorney, beneficiary designations, and property-transfer tools. A trust attorney focuses more specifically on creating, funding, administering, or reviewing trusts. In practice, one attorney may handle both areas because trusts generally work best when coordinated with the rest of the estate plan.

The cost varies according to the documents involved, the complexity of the estate, and the work required. Golm Law Firm offers a 30-minute consultation for $150 and a 60-minute consultation with document review for $350. A consultation fee may be applied toward the total cost if the firm is retained for a flat-fee service or project after the consultation.

You generally need an estate planning attorney familiar with the law governing your property, family circumstances, and intended beneficiaries. Golm Law Firm provides Florida estate planning services involving wills, revocable and irrevocable trusts, family trusts, powers of attorney, lady bird deeds, and probate-avoidance strategies.

A typical process involves identifying goals, reviewing assets and family circumstances, choosing beneficiaries and decision-makers, selecting appropriate documents, preparing the plan, reviewing and signing the documents, and updating the plan as circumstances change. The right sequence and documents vary by situation. Florida planning may involve wills, trusts, powers of attorney, beneficiary designations, and property-transfer tools.

Estate planning may include preparing or reviewing wills, establishing trusts, preparing durable financial or healthcare powers of attorney, and evaluating beneficiary designations and property ownership. Golm Law Firm also advises on Florida lady bird deeds and strategies intended to avoid or minimize probate. The appropriate combination depends on your family, assets, goals, and existing documents.

Review your plan when major life or asset changes occur, such as marriage, divorce, having children, relocating, or acquiring or changing property. Golm Law Firm reviews wills, trusts, powers of attorney, and beneficiary designations to help confirm that documents remain current, legally valid, and consistent with your wishes under Florida law.

A Florida lady bird deed, also called an enhanced life estate deed, can allow an owner to retain control of property during life while providing for an automatic transfer to named beneficiaries at death. Golm Law Firm advises homeowners on whether this tool fits their broader estate plan and how it relates to other beneficiary-transfer strategies.

Golm Law Firm offers consultations in person, virtually, or by phone. A 30-minute consultation is available for $150, while a 60-minute consultation with document review is available for $350. The firm’s consultation services can help clarify your situation, identify legal considerations, and discuss recommended next steps before a larger project is undertaken.
