How should insurance benefits be handled by an estate?

David Goldman
Answered by attorney David Goldman
Estate Planning lawyer at Law Office of David M. Goldman PLLC
While paying them directly to the beneficiaries generally shelters them from the creditors of the estate, it can subject them to the creditors of the beneficiaries. You should discuss the options with Florida Estate Planning Lawyer to determine which is best for you and your beneficiaries given your current and likely future situation.

How do I create the right of survivorship and/or ladybird deed paperwork?

Astrid de Parry
Answered by attorney Astrid de Parry
Estate Planning lawyer at Bryant de Parry, P.A.
A lady bird deed and right of survivorship can be created without a lawyer; however, it might be prudent to use a lawyer for the following reasons: They can assure it make sense in terms of estate planning, elder law planning including Medicaid etc. A lawyer can check to make sure that the deeds are executed with the formality required under Florida Statutes. A lawyer who has written a lady bird deed before can also make sure that the deed will be acceptable to title companies.

How long does it take for someone's estate to be settled?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Jayne L. Sebby (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Jayne L. Sebby
It depends on the size and complexity of the estate. By state statute, the executor usually has one year to complete the job. But some estates take years to settle either because someone challenges the dispursement of the assets or because there are so many elements of the estate that must be collected, valued, sold, etc.

Martindale-Hubbell® Client Review Ratings™ display reviews submitted by individuals who have either hired or consulted the lawyers or law firms.

The Client Review Rating score is determined through the aggregation of validated responses. People who submit reviews are either individuals who consulted with the lawyer/law firm or who hired the lawyer/law firm and want to share their experience of that lawyer or law firm with other potential clients. Reviewers can be anyone who consults or hires a lawyer including in-house counsel, corporate executives, small business owners, and private individuals.

Martindale-Hubbell validates that a reviewer is a person with a valid email address. As part of the review process, respondents must affirm that they have had an initial consultation, are currently a client or have been a client of the lawyer or law firm identified, although Martindale-Hubbell cannot confirm the lawyer/client relationship as it is often confidential. The content of the responses is entirely from reviewers.

Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome and Martindale-Hubbell accepts no responsibility for the content or accuracy of any review. For more information on Martindale-Hubbell Client Review Ratings, please visit our Client Review Page

Martindale-Hubbell® Peer Review Ratings™ are the gold standard in attorney ratings, and have been for more than a century. These ratings indicate attorneys who are widely respected by their peers for their ethical standards and legal expertise in a specific area of practice.

The Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings process is the gold standard due to its objectivity and comprehensiveness. Lawyers solicited for peer reviews include both those selected by the attorney being reviewed and lawyers independently selected by Martindale-Hubbell. All reviewers are verified as attorneys through Martindale-Hubbell’s extensive attorney database. Only attorneys practicing at least three years and receiving a sufficient number of reviews from non-affiliated attorneys are eligible to receive a Rating.

What are the different Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings?*

• AV Preeminent®: The highest peer rating standard. This rating signifies that a large number of the lawyer’s peers rank him or her at the highest level of professional excellence for their legal knowledge, communication skills and ethical standards.

• Distinguished: An excellent rating for a lawyer with some experience. This rating indicates the attorney is widely respected by their peers for high professional achievement and ethical standards.

• Notable: This rating indicates that the lawyer has been recognized by a large number of their peers for strong ethical standards.

Lawyers who have received peer reviews after 2009 will display more detailed information, including practice areas, summary ratings, detailed numeric ratings and written feedback (if available). Details for individual reviews received before 2009 are not displayed.

Attorneys that receive reviews from their peers, but not a sufficient number to establish a Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Rating, will have those reviews display on our websites.
