Deeds and title
Want your home to skip probate, without giving up control?
The Lady Bird deed, and who it's right for.
Real estate and estate planning attorneys on St. Pete Beach.
Buying a home, fixing a deed, dealing with a tenant, or making sure your family is set — if it involves property in Florida, it's what we do. We're on Corey Avenue, and we answer the phone.
Estate planning
You don't have a will. Florida does, and you may not like it.
If you die without a will in Florida, the state has already decided who gets the house, the accounts, and the kids. Here's what that plan looks like — and why most people would rather write their own.
