Flat fees, posted up front
Most Florida firms won’t tell you what an estate plan costs until you’re in the room. We post our flat fees so you can plan with confidence. For example, an attorney-prepared Lady Bird deed is $399 + recording, and a full trust-based plan starts at $3,200.

Questions clients ask
Do I need a will or a living trust?
It depends on your goals. A will directs who receives your property but still goes through probate. A revocable living trust can keep your family out of probate entirely and manage things if you become incapacitated. We talk through both at your free consult and recommend what fits.
What is a Lady Bird deed?
A Lady Bird (enhanced life estate) deed lets your Florida home pass automatically to the people you choose at your death, without probate, while you keep full control during your lifetime, including the right to sell or change your mind. Done wrong, a plain quitclaim can cost your heirs a step-up in basis and create a Medicaid problem, which is why an attorney-reviewed deed matters.
How do I avoid probate in Florida?
Common tools are a funded revocable living trust, a Lady Bird deed on real estate, and proper beneficiary and pay-on-death designations on accounts. The right mix depends on what you own and how it is titled.
Will Medicaid take my house?
Your Florida homestead is generally protected for Medicaid eligibility, but planning matters, especially around the five-year look-back and estate recovery. We help families protect the home and qualify for nursing-home Medicaid the right way.
Do you work with families who live outside Florida?
Yes. We serve clients throughout Florida remotely, and we regularly help adult children outside the state handle a Florida parent’s estate, deed, or Medicaid planning by phone and video.
