We understand what you’re facing

Whether you’re starting your first estate plan or updating one that’s years out of date, the goal is the same: make sure your wishes are honored, your loved ones are cared for, and your family is spared confusion and court battles down the road. It doesn’t have to be complicated — we’ll walk you through it in plain English and build a plan that fits your life.

Types of Florida Probate We Handle

Formal Administration (standard probate for estates over $75,000)

Summary Administration (simplified probate for smaller or older estates)

Disposition Without Administration (for very small estates with no real property)

Ancillary Probate (for non-Florida residents with Florida assets)

Contested Probate and Will Disputes

Probate with Medicaid Recovery Claims (we know how to minimize these)

Why you need an estate plan — and what happens without one

Without a plan, Florida law — not you — decides who receives what, and your family may be forced through probate court.

A good plan can avoid probate, reduce delays and costs, name guardians for minor children, and protect a spouse or a special-needs loved one.

It’s not just for the wealthy — anyone with a home, savings, children, or specific wishes benefits from a plan.

Life changes — marriage, children, moves, new assets — mean your plan should be reviewed and updated periodically.

Meet Jason Neufeld

Medicaid is a joint federal-and-state program that, unlike Medicare, can pay for long-term custodial care — but only for those who meet strict income and asset limits. Medicaid planning is the legal process of arranging your income and assets so you can qualify for those benefits without simply going broke first. Done properly, it can help you protect your home and savings, provide for a healthy spouse who still needs to live independently, and access quality care sooner rather than later.

Your Florida Probate Questions — Answered

Do I need a will or a trust?

It depends on your goals — many families benefit from both. A trust can avoid probate; a will covers what a trust doesn’t. We’ll recommend what fits your situation.

What happens if I die without an estate plan?

Florida’s intestacy laws decide who inherits, and your estate likely goes through probate — often slower and costlier for your family.

Will a living trust help me avoid probate?

Properly set up and funded, yes — assets held in the trust pass to your beneficiaries outside of probate.

How often should I update my plan?

Review it every few years and after major life events — marriage, divorce, births, moves, or big changes in assets.

Is estate planning only for wealthy people?

No. Anyone with a home, savings, children, or specific wishes benefits from having a plan in place.

Can you help protect a special-needs child?

Yes — through a special needs trust integrated into your overall estate plan.
