⚖️ Estate Planning Services

At Brewer Law Firm, P.A., we believe estate planning is about protecting your legacy, easing the burden on your family, and ensuring your wishes are honored. Whether you’re planning ahead or updating an existing plan, we offer personalized guidance every step of the way.

📜 Wills & Codicils

A will is your voice after you’re gone. Codicils let you make updates as life changes.

  • Clearly define who inherits your assets

  • Appoint guardians for minor children

  • Avoid confusion and family conflict

  • Make simple, legal updates without rewriting everything

We ensure your will reflects your true intentions and complies with Florida law.

🛡️ Trusts & Amendments

Trusts help avoid probate, protect your assets, and give you control over how they’re distributed.

  • Create revocable or irrevocable trusts

  • Set terms for how heirs receive their inheritance

  • Add or remove beneficiaries or assets as needed

  • Reduce taxes and prevent legal disputes

We’ll design a trust strategy that fits your goals—now and for the future.

✍️ Durable Power of Attorney

If you become incapacitated, someone needs the legal authority to act on your behalf.

  • Authorize someone to handle finances and legal matters

  • Prevent the need for court-appointed guardianship

  • Ensure bills, banking, and investments are protected

  • Choose someone you trust with important responsibilities

We’ll help you build a strong and flexible POA that aligns with your wishes.

🏥 Health Care Surrogate

When medical decisions can’t wait, you need someone you trust ready to act.

  • Appoint a surrogate to make health care choices

  • Ensure your treatment preferences are followed

  • Avoid family conflict in high-stress situations

  • Empower your voice even when you can’t speak

This vital document gives clarity and comfort when it’s needed most.

📄 Living Will (Advance Directive)

A living will provides medical guidance during critical moments.

  • State your wishes on life-sustaining treatment

  • Decide in advance about resuscitation, feeding tubes, and ventilation

  • Reduce stress and uncertainty for your family

  • Avoid unwanted or prolonged treatment

We’ll make your medical values clear and enforceable.

🏠 Property Transfers / Deeds

Smart real estate planning keeps property out of probate and in trusted hands.

  • Legally transfer property to a spouse, child, or trust

  • Record and file deeds properly with the county

  • Reduce probate risks and simplify asset transfer

  • Understand tax implications and legal limits

We handle every detail to ensure your transfer is smooth, secure, and valid.

🙋 Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Do I need both a will and a trust?

Not always. Trusts can offer added control and privacy, but wills are often sufficient for simple estates. We’ll help you decide what fits best.

How often should I update my estate plan?

We recommend reviewing your plan every 3-5 years or after major life events (marriage, divorce, kids, new assets, etc.).

Can I make estate planning changes later?

Yes. All of our documents are designed to be amendable and flexible. As your life changes, your estate plan can too.

What happens if I don’t have a will in Florida?

Florida’s intestate laws decide who gets your assets, often not how you would have wanted. It can also create family disputes.

How much does estate planning cost?

We offer clear, upfront pricing based on your specific needs. Many foundational plans are affordable and can be completed quickly.
