WhiteBird, PLLC’s estate planning attorneys help clients accomplish their personal and financial objectives through carefully drafted estate plans. We understand that estate planning extends beyond asset distribution—it’s about ensuring your peace of mind and securing your legacy in a way that reflects your life’s achievements and personal values.
What We Offer
Tailored Estate Planning Strategies
In Florida, individuals who pass away without a valid will (intestate) may be subject to certain default provisions governed by the Florida Probate Code. Often, these default provisions do not align with an individual’s personal preferences for asset distribution.
Our attorneys recognize that no two families are exactly alike, and accordingly, their estate plans shouldn’t be either. We craft highly personalized estate plans tailored to the unique goals, circumstances, and interests of each client, aiming for a smooth transition of assets that are distributed according to the client’s plan. Some of the custom estate planning documents we prepare for clients include:
- Revocable and Irrevocable Trusts
- Charitable Trusts
- Special Needs Trusts
- Business Succession Planning Documents
- Last Will and Testaments
- Durable General Powers of Attorneys
- Health Care Proxies
- Living Wills
- Declarations of Preneed Guardian for Minors and Adults
