Preserving Your Legacy. Safeguarding Their Future.

Estate planning with an attorney can establish the legal documents you need to protect your health, family, and inheritable assets upon death or incapacitation. But not just any lawyer can do the job in a way that thoroughly protects what matters to you most.

When drafting end-of-life documents, you need a lawyer with a sharp legal mind and an effective, creative approach to asset protection who listens and is also easy to talk to. In Fort Lauderdale, The Levy Firm provides experienced, compassionate estate planning guidance tailored to your specific circumstances and goals.

An estate plan can take years to unfold – if you plan it that way, and most people do. The more time you give your lawyer to plan, the better they can protect your assets. Don’t put off estate planning until tragedy strikes. Be prepared.

“Geoffrey took the time to explain everything in detail, and I greatly appreciate what he and the whole team did for me. Thank you very much for the amazing work. So happy with your service.”

Five Key Documents For An Effective Estate Plan

While legal requirements and documents may vary based on jurisdiction and circumstances, the five major documents in a person’s estate plan typically include:

  1. Last Will and Testament
    Wills outline how a person's assets and properties should be distributed after their death. It may also appoint guardians for minor children and specify other wishes.
  2. Revocable Trusts
    Strategically created trusts allow individuals to manage and distribute their assets while avoiding probate – a potentially lengthy, public, and expensive court process. 
  3. Power of Attorney
    There are different types of power of attorney, such as general, durable, and limited. Basically, this document appoints someone to make financial and legal decisions on behalf of the individual if they become incapacitated.
  4. Healthcare Proxy or Medical Power of Attorney
    This document designates a person to make medical decisions on behalf of the individual if they are unable to do so. It includes decisions about medical treatments, surgeries, and other healthcare matters.
  5. Advance Healthcare Directives
    Provides guidance to healthcare proxies, medical professionals, and loved ones on decisions about life-sustaining treatment, organ donation, and other medical interventions.
