Estate Planning: More Than Just a Will

Florida, Estate Planning Lawyers

At the very least, everyone needs a will to ensure that his or her wishes for passing on his or her assets are clearly understood and will be followed. However, estate planning involves so much more than simply drafting a will. An experienced attorney can help ensure that your estate plan addresses the unique needs of your family. An effective estate plan provides guidance for the distribution of all of your personal and real property, as well as any family-owned businesses.

I founded the law firm of Lynette Silon-Laguna, P.A., in 1997 to provide people in the Tampa and Riverview area with the skilled representation, good legal advice and personal service they need to take care of their important legal issues. Along with my attorneys and staff, I look forward to helping you.

Are you considering your options for estate planning? My firm is ready to help you make the most of it. Contact my firm today for a free initial consultation with a skilled estate planning attorney.

Personalized Estate Planning Services

Having an estate plan is especially important if your estate exceeds or may exceed the federal estate tax exemption limit. This exemption limit has been changing on a yearly basis. Also, if you have a homestead, there are laws that control how it can be devised, and it is very important to know these laws, even if you are only preparing a will. As laws become more complex with each passing year, it becomes more important to provide guidance for your heirs under every possible circumstance.

We provide a complete range of estate planning services, and our attorneys will work with you to develop and implement an estate plan designed specifically for you. We use every legal tool available, along with our extensive real-world experience, in preparing this plan. Our estate plan tools include, but are not limited to, the following:

• Traditional wills
• Revocable living trusts
• Irrevocable trusts
• Pourover wills (assets pours over to a trust)
• Powers of attorney for financial and health care issues

Estate plans include different types of trusts to maximize your federal estate tax savings, to provide inheritance to your beneficiaries in installments or to make sure your pet is properly taken care of after you are gone. As your life changes, you can trust my firm to restructure your plan to accurately reflect the changes in your life.
