Estate Planning
Estate planning is commonly known as the process of arranging your assets in a way so that they pass to your loved ones upon your death according to your wishes. Without a proper estate plan in place, all of your assets that you’ve built up during your lifetime – big or small – will pass according to Florida law.
Also, estate planning pertains to several other aspects of managing your life. For instance, through properly drafted documents, you can grant a trusted individual authority to make financial and medical decisions on your behalf if you cannot do so for yourself.
Proper estate planning can also help you avoid your loved ones needing to go through the time and expense of a probate proceeding at the time of your death. Probate is the court process of transferring your property to your appropriate heirs – whether that is under your estate plan or pursuant to Florida law. Probate can be a costly and timely endeavor and with a properly crafted plan, your loved ones can avoid that altogether.
Probate Administration
Probate is the court process of transferring your loved one’s property to your appropriate heirs – whether that is under your estate plan or pursuant to Florida law. It is important to note that even with a properly drafted will, it is possible that your loved one’s estate will have to pass through the probate process before you receive your inheritance. Though probate can be a lengthy process, rest assured that Barreau Legal, PLLC has the experience to guide you through the process as efficiently as possible.

Ensuring that all of the Trust’s rules are followed appropriately and monitored effectively can be overwhelming. Barreau Legal, PLLC has the knowledge and background to ensure the appropriate administration of your Trust.
