At Kagan Love PLLC, we understand that estate planning is about more than just distributing assets. It’s about protecting your loved ones, preserving your legacy, and ensuring your wishes are honored. Our experienced Florida estate planning attorneys are dedicated to providing personalized legal solutions that give you and your family peace of mind.
Without proper estate planning, Florida law will determine how your assets are distributed, which may not align with your wishes. By working with an experienced estate planning attorney, you can maintain control over your legacy and provide clear direction for your loved ones during difficult times.
Our Estate Planning Services
Kagan Love PLLC offers a full range of estate planning services tailored to meet the unique needs of Florida residents. Whether you’re just starting to think about your estate plan or need to update existing documents, we’re here to guide you through every step of the process.
Wills
A last will and testament is the foundation of most estate plans. Your will specifies how you want your assets distributed after your death, names guardians for minor children, and designates an executor to manage your estate. In Florida, having a properly executed will can help your loved ones avoid confusion and conflict during an already emotional time. We draft clear, legally sound wills that accurately reflect your intentions and comply with all Florida legal requirements.
Trusts
Trusts are powerful estate planning tools that offer flexibility, privacy, and control over asset distribution. We help clients establish various types of trusts depending on their goals, including revocable living trusts, irrevocable trusts, special needs trusts, and charitable trusts.
A revocable living trust can help you avoid probate, maintain privacy, and provide seamless management of your assets if you become incapacitated. For many Florida families, trusts offer significant advantages over wills alone, including potential tax benefits and enhanced asset protection.
Powers of Attorney
A durable power of attorney allows you to designate someone you trust to make financial and legal decisions on your behalf if you become unable to do so yourself. This essential document ensures that someone can manage your bank accounts, pay bills, handle real estate transactions, and make other important financial decisions without requiring court intervention. We help you create powers of attorney that protect your interests while giving you confidence that your affairs will be properly managed.
Healthcare Directives and Living Wills
Healthcare directives, including living wills and healthcare surrogate designations, allow you to express your wishes regarding medical treatment if you’re unable to communicate. A healthcare surrogate designation names someone to make medical decisions for you, while a living will specifies your preferences regarding life-prolonging procedures. These documents are crucial for ensuring your healthcare wishes are respected and relieving your family of the burden of making difficult decisions without guidance.
Asset Protection Planning
Florida offers unique asset protection opportunities, including homestead exemptions and protections for certain types of accounts. We help clients structure their estates to protect assets from creditors, lawsuits, and other potential claims while ensuring compliance with Florida law. Proper asset protection planning can preserve wealth for your beneficiaries and provide security for your family’s future.
Estate Tax Planning
While Florida does not impose a state estate tax, federal estate taxes may still apply to larger estates. We develop tax-efficient strategies to minimize estate tax liability and maximize the wealth you pass to your heirs. Through careful planning using tools like gifting strategies, charitable giving, and trust structures, we help you preserve more of your hard-earned assets for the people and causes you care about.
Business Succession Planning
If you own a business, planning for its future is a critical component of your overall estate plan. We help business owners develop succession plans that ensure smooth transitions, minimize tax consequences, and protect the business value you’ve worked so hard to build. Whether you plan to pass your business to family members, sell to partners, or pursue other exit strategies, we provide the legal framework to support your goals.
