Estates & Trusts in Miami
Estate planning is not just for the wealthy — it's for anyone who wants control over what happens to their assets and their family when they're gone. Our Miami estates and trusts attorneys draft customized life estate deeds, living trusts, and supporting documents that protect your assets from probate, minimize taxes, and ensure your wishes are honored exactly as you intend.
A Miami living trust attorney can help you protect your home, your savings, and everything you've built from the costly and time-consuming Florida probate process. A revocable living trust holds your assets during your lifetime and transfers them directly to your named beneficiaries at your death — without going to court. This saves your family months of delay, thousands in legal fees, and keeps your affairs private. Because probate records are public, a living trust also protects your family's financial information from becoming public record.
A life estate deed is one of the most practical and affordable estate planning tools available for Miami homeowners. With a life estate deed, you transfer ownership of your property to your children or other heirs while retaining the right to live in and use the property for the rest of your life. At your death, the property passes automatically to your heirs — no probate, no delays, no court involvement. A Miami life estate deed lawyer at our firm can prepare this document for you at a flat, affordable fee.
Every complete estate plan in Florida should also include a Last Will and Testament, a Durable Power of Attorney, a Healthcare Surrogate designation, and a Living Will (advance directive). These documents ensure that someone you trust is authorized to manage your finances and medical decisions if you become incapacitated — and that your specific wishes are documented and legally binding. Without these documents, Florida courts will make these decisions for you through guardianship proceedings.
Whether you own a home in Coral Gables, have investments in Brickell, or simply want to protect your family's future, our Miami living trust attorneys and estate planning lawyers provide clear, practical guidance tailored to your situation. Plans are priced transparently and updated as your life changes. Call (786) 306-7278 for a free consultation with a Miami estate attorney today.

Estates & Trusts FAQs
Do I need a trust if I have a will?
A will goes through probate — a public court process that takes time and costs money. A living trust bypasses probate entirely, transferring assets directly to beneficiaries. For most people, a trust offers better protection and privacy.
What is a life estate deed and how does it work?
A life estate deed transfers ownership of your property to a named beneficiary while you retain the right to live there for your lifetime. At your death, the property passes automatically to the beneficiary without probate.
How often should I update my estate plan?
Review your estate plan after major life events — marriage, divorce, birth of a child, death of a beneficiary, significant asset changes, or moving to a new state. We recommend a review every 3–5 years.
