Helping You Plan For The Future
From our office in Florida, attorneys Stephen D. Korshak and Lee Karina Dani offer our clients comprehensive probate and estate planning services involving the creation and designation of:
- Wills: A will is a declaration in which an individual provides for the distribution of his or her property upon death and nominates a representative to manage his or her estate upon demise.
- Living wills: A living will is a document that indicates to your doctors and other medical care providers what type of life-sustaining measures you want to be taken in the event of your incapacitation. This could include information about food, hydration and organ donation.
- Health care surrogate: A health care surrogate is a designated person who has the power to make medical and health care decisions for you in the event of your incapacitation.
- Powers of attorney: A durable power of attorney can act on your behalf regarding important decision-making involving real estate, etc.
- Lady bird deeds: This tool more easily allows you to pass real estate property to your heirs while also allowing you to retain the rights to sell or lease the property while you are living.
And should your matter need further assistance, we have extensive experience with estate litigation for matters like will contests, challenging the validity of charitable trusts, tax liens and more.

Helping You With Florida Guardianships
A minor child who inherits money or property may need to have a guardian of the property appointed to oversee these assets. The guardian of the property must file reports and accountings and meet other requirements. The lawyers at our firm have experience representing guardians and assisting them in meeting these requirements.
In addition, an adult who is incapacitated may need to have a legal guardian appointed. The process involves a hearing on a petition for incapacity, an examination by a committee and the filing of several documents. The guardian of a person must also file reports and may have to file accountings, as well as meet other requirements. Our legal team has experience representing families through the process and assisting guardians in meeting the court’s requirements.
