Protecting Your Legacy Through Life Planning Services
At The Law Offices of Justin Rickman, we provide lifetime planning and services to protect you from unexpected occurrences. Sadly, too few Florida adults have an estate plan to guard against the unforeseen. It is never too early or too late to put a plan together with the assistance of a skilled lawyer.
We commit ourselves to preparing the documents you require to control your legacy and establish arrangements to care for your loved ones when you can no longer do it yourself. Attorney Justin Rickman and our staff will work closely with you. The estate planning documents we prepare will reflect your desires and provide clear direction to those carrying out your wishes.
Providing Comprehensive Estate Planning Services
Whatever your age, having a life plan to establish protections due to informed decisions is crucial. Our office can help document your preferences through well-crafted legal instruments, including:
- Wills: The Law Offices of Justin Rickman drafts wills specifically outlining your wishes regarding your heirs. Without such an instrument, courts would instead dictate the division of your assets and direction regarding funeral rites and custody of your pets.
- Durable power of attorney: Such a document grants authority to someone to manage your finances and business and legal matters should you become incapacitated.
- Health care surrogate: This instrument authorizes a family member to make medical decisions on your behalf if you cannot communicate your wishes.
- Health care directive (living will): A directive provides specific direction to doctors and your loved ones regarding life-sustaining treatment and end-of-life care, helping to ensure medical providers follow your wishes.
- Trusts: We routinely create a wide range of trusts to help avoid assets going through probate, shield assets from taxation and expense, and help provide for family members with special needs.
