Wills, Trusts, Probate, and Medicaid Planning in Wilton Manors

If your same-sex partner, spouse, mother, or father died with a valid Will (called Testate estate), or no Will (called intestate estate), OC Estate and Elder Law can help.  Dealing with sadness is difficult enough, but adding the complicated probate process on top of your grief can be overwhelming. Rest assured that our skilled probate attorneys can take over the probate process and ensure that your inheritance is being handled properly.

You might be wondering how to claim an inheritance, how to sell your deceased parents’ home, or how to sell your deceased partner’s apartment?  Unfortunately, just listing the property is not enough because the real estate is still likely titled in the deceased person’s name.  You will need to handle this sale of real estate through a court process called Probate Administration or Summary Administration. We will prepare the Petition for Summary Administration, and provide you with an Order for Summary Administration, or Letters of Administration.  Along the way, we will appoint you as Personal Representative of the estate and assist you with your testate or intestate estate from start to finish.

OC Estate and Elder Law is also a leader in Wills, Trusts, and asset protection.  With over a decade of service to the South Florida community, we have a reputation for providing LGBT estate planning and wills and trusts for gay and lesbian couples.  Same-sex partners that live in Wilton Manors, Florida, that have accrued wealth or inherited general wealth, recognize how important it is to plan ahead and make sure their assets are protected.  Estate planning and asset protection are smart steps for anyone who wants to keep the assets they have worked hard for, safeguard wealth, and reduce the chances of future claims from creditors or government agencies.  Especially for young parents who want peace of mind about their children’s financial future or worry about how to pay for their children’s education.

Attorneys Fernando Orrego and Natasha Chipiga have over a decade of experience helping families throughout South Florida, with a focus on Wilton Manors. From setting up a family trust such a revocable trust or an irrevocable trust, to handling trust administration, our team provides customized strategies that protect your assets and ensure smooth transitions.

If you are a business owner interested in LGBT business succession planning, and wondering “who will take over my business,” considering “selling my business,” or need information on estate tax planning, we can help.  We also help non-traditional families focused on planning for their children’s education, such as how to pay for college.  OC Estate & Elder Law is here to guide you every step of the way to make the overwhelming estate planning process easy.
