PROBATE, WILLS & ESTATE

Wills & Estate Planning Lawyer

It is important to preserve and memorialize your wishes. Hire a wills and estates lawyer to ensure that what you want is carried out correctly and to minimize or avoid probate. At Apfelbaum Martinez Law, we specialize in carrying out our clients’ wishes through extensive counseling and the drafting of important legal documents such as wills, trusts, powers of attorney, health directives, and guardianship designations.

Wills enable individuals to control their assets and preserve their wishes, thereby avoiding Florida's default statutory rules.
Trusts provide a method to manage assets across different locations, reducing probate, maintaining estate privacy, and facilitating asset management for out-of-state property.
Guardianship designation is the process of naming a guardian for minor children or incapacitated individuals, avoiding a judge's decision. At Apfelbaum Martinez law we can help you draft the necessary documents and guide you through the administration of guardianship, ensuring a smooth transition for all involved.
A health care directive is a written document outlining a person's health care wishes, enabling them to name an agent to make decisions if they cannot.
Power of attorney documents enable a designated person to manage affairs on your behalf in the event of incapacity, travel, or other commitments.
