Niceville, Florida Attorney Focused on Probate and Estate Administration
At the Law Office of Michael Weinstock, our probate and estate administration practice focuses on helping clients achieve comprehensive estate planning goals and establish proven tax-saving strategies. It is designed to allow clients to direct the passing of their assets according to their wishes, keeping the estate out of probate court and keeping taxes and expenses to a minimum.
Why an estate plan?
Estate planning involves management and disposition of your property during your lifetime and after your death. Estate administration covers the probate process and other types of transfers of assets from the deceased person to his or her heirs.
Laws directing probate court how to distribute the deceased person's estate vary greatly from state to state, so it is wise to consult a lawyer who has experience with these procedures in Florida.
It is meant to accomplish the following:
- Distribute you assets to your chosen beneficiary
- Nominate the guardian of your child and your child's assets
- Provide for your care, the care of your children, and management of your assets if you become incapacitated
- Specify your wishes if you require life support
We prepare comprehensive, detailed documents that assist clients in planning for a whole range of possible future events including death or incapacity:
- Last Will and Testament
- Marital gifts and gifts to children
- Trusts
- Durable or general powers of attorney
- Medical powers of attorney
- Living wills
- Health care surrogates
- Guardianships
Guardianships
Guardians can be appointed for people who are no longer able to take care of themselves. In every case, I try to find any possible alternative to guardianship for individuals in this position. I can guide local clients through the process of arranging guardianship for a relative.
