Miami, Florida, Wills, Trusts and Estates Lawyer
Probate law (wills, trusts and estates) involves complicated property ownership, medical care and inheritance questions. If you pass away, who will inherit each of your assets? Who will care for your children? How will your estate be administered? If you are incapacitated, who will make decisions regarding your medical treatment?
There are ways to prevent the courts from making many important decisions regarding your property, your medical care and the care of your family. At the law office of Randy A. Bryant, P.A., we offer answers and hands-on solutions. We can work with you to fully ensure your wishes regarding the guardianship of your children, the inheritance of your property and the administration of medical care are fully respected and executed. Our estate planning legal services include:
- Transferring assets from one family member to another
- Creating a living trust -- Living trusts move some or all of your property into a trust while you are still alive. You may name your beneficiary as the trustee, who takes control of the trust at the time of your death. This is one vehicle to use to avoid probate.
- Moving property into a living trust
- Liquidating estate property
- Creating wills and living wills
Simple estate planning steps can avert confusion, infighting and expense. Often, general inheritance laws do not adequately clarify the passing of a household to multiple heirs. Just as frequently, wills address property issues but not the guardianship needs of incapacitated individuals, whether they are minor children or mentally deficient individuals.
It is also imperative to arrange for the drafting of a living will. Wills and trusts generally deal with property distribution and asset protection. Living wills, however, mean more than property. They mean the difference between life and death. The tragic case of Terry Shiavo served to alert a generation to the need to arrange for a predetermined decision-making process in the event of catastrophic illness and injury.
