We are responsive and for those who need documents fast we can react quickly. Many estate plans can be created in a weeks. In emergencies, our Estate Planning lawyers may even be able to have documents ready within a day.
The Law Office of David M. Goldman's Estate Planning lawyers focus on providing value to our clients with individualized estate planning documents designed to meet their goals and objectives. One of our goals in creating your estate planning documents is to avoid probate and the corresponding court supervision, delay, and costs associated with the distribution of assets created by a Florida Probate. Many people mistakenly believe that a will avoids probate in Florida. This belief is not valid. A will creates the need for a Florida Probate. Contact us today to discuss your situation and let us customize an estate plan that protects your interests.
We offer multiple types of probate administration, including Formal Probate Administration and Summary Probate Administration. In Florida, a Summary Probate is available if the decedent died more than two years ago or if there are less than $75,000 in assets subject to a Florida Probate. The best time to find out about your options is before you need probate; call our estate planning and probate lawyers today to see if you qualify for a Free Consultation.
We know many people do not have time during the day to discuss their legal issues; therefore our lawyers are available after hours to discuss your issues. In most practice areas, we even offer free 30-minute consultations to discuss your options. See the individual practice area pages for more details on these issues.
