Areas of Practice

Real Estate

One of the most significant decisions a person will make in his or her lifetime is the purchase of real property. Whether a personal residence, office space, rental property, or vacation home, real property is a tangible expression of your hard work. Protecting your real property interest throughout the purchase and sale process is an essential role of the firm as our attorneys may represent Buyers and Sellers and serve as the closing agent for your transaction. Beyond the transaction of buying or selling your real property, we advise clients and help them to appropriately title their real property to protect the asset, avoid unnecessary probate, take advantage of homestead tax savings, and enable clients to avail themselves of Florida domicile treatment.

Estate Planning

Estate planning is the development of a plan for an individual’s incapacity and eventual death through preparation of proper documents and appropriate titling of assets. Most people prefer not to think about the possibility of becoming incapacitated from injury or the onset of dementia or Alzheimer’s disease. The unfortunate reality is the likelihood of incapacity is much higher than we realize. You have a 20% chance of an incapacity event before the age of retirement and the odds increase to about 50% upon reaching age 65. Through proper planning, you can protect your assets, preserve your benefit and the benefit to your family of your assets, and ensure that your wishes are carried through. Whether your goal is wealth preservation from generation to generation, providing for charitable giving, or minimizing the taxable consequences of the sale of a business or transfers at death, we will help you create the appropriate framework to effectuate your estate plan.
