No one likes to think about the possibility of being incapacitated, but a Designation of Healthcare Surrogate and a Living Will provide you and your loved ones with crucial peace of mind. It ensures that your health care decisions are made according to your wishes and by the person(s) that you trust. It alleviates the burden on your family, and helps avoid potential conflicts.
If you don’t yet have a designation of healthcare surrogate or living will or want to update your current one, I can guide you. Contact the office today to discuss how I can help you create a comprehensive and legally sound plan that reflects your personal preferences.
Legal Guardianship is an important, court-directed process that ensures the interests of incapacitated adults and minors are protected. Incapacity can result from dementia, stroke, injury, or other medical conditions, that render a person unable to care for themselves and/or their property.

Legal Guardianship is an important, court-directed process that ensures the interests of incapacitated adults and minors are protected. Incapacity can result from dementia, stroke, injury, or other medical conditions, that render a person unable to care for themselves and/or their property. Minors (under age 18) that receive an inheritance or settlement from a legal claim may require a guardianship of that property depending on the amount received.
Guardian Advocacy is a special type of guardianship for developmentally disabled adults.
I handle guardianship and guardian advocacy. If you are interested in learning about the process and whether it is necessary for a family member or loved one, please contact the office to schedule a consultation.

Diagnose-you-own-illness websites (aka Dr. Google) can be tempting, but the results are not always accurate. It is the same for do-it-yourself-will sites. Everyone's situation is different - there is no one-size-fits-all Will. Each state (Florida included) has specific requirements for a will to be legally valid. These include how it must be signed, witnessed, or even whether it must be notarized. A will that doesn’t meet these standards may be partially or completely invalid—meaning your assets could be distributed as if you had no will at all. Even a small error in a DIY will can create complications during probate, delaying asset distribution and increasing administrative costs. Worse, it can open the door to legal challenges that undermine your final wishes. Obtaining the advice of an estate planning attorney can ensure that you and your loved ones are protected.
One size does not fit all for estate planning, and that includes how you meet with the attorney. For those clients who can travel, our office is located in Bradenton. Telephone or Zoom consultations are also available. For those that cannot travel, but want to meet in person, we can schedule an appointment at your home, office, ALF or nursing home. If you are interested in an estate planning, probate or guardianship consultation, please call us and we can make arrangements for a location and format that is best for you.

The Florida Rescue Farm in Duette provides a home and safe shelter for unwanted farm animals. They adopt animals that have been surrendered by their owners or animals that have been abandoned and are found by concerned individuals or by other animal rescue organizations. To assist in sustainability we also rehome some of these animals to carefully screened families. The farm offers sanctuary to chickens, ducks, geese, goats, cattle and other livestock. For more information or to arrange a tour, please email info@floridarescuefarm.org or call (941) 209-9558.
