Core Practice Areas in Florida Estate and Elder Law
Florida property laws, homestead protections, and probate codes require meticulous drafting to ensure documents function as intended. Matthew L. Schneider, Esq. assists clients across all vital areas of lifetime planning and estate administration.
Last Will and Testament Drafting
A properly executed will forms the baseline of any estate plan, designating guardians for minor children, naming personal representatives, and detailing asset distributions. Without a valid will, Florida intestate succession laws dictate who inherits your property. Attorney Schneider drafts custom wills that reflect your specific intentions while preventing probate disputes among heirs.
Revocable Living Trusts and Asset Protection
For many Florida homeowners and families, establishing a revocable living trust is the most effective way to transfer assets smoothly without court intervention. By placing real estate, bank accounts, and investments into a trust, assets pass directly to named beneficiaries immediately upon death, bypassing the delays and public nature of probate. If you need a lawyer immediately to protect assets from conservatorship or establish trusts for children, attorney Schneider designs trusts tailored to your financial goals.
Lady Bird Deeds and Incapacity Planning
Florida recognizes Enhanced Life Estate Deeds, commonly known as lady bird deeds. This specialized deed allows homeowners to retain lifetime control of their property while transferring title automatically to beneficiaries upon death without probate. Additionally, the practice prepares durable financial powers of attorney, healthcare surrogates, and living wills, ensuring trusted individuals can manage affairs if incapacity occurs.
