WHOM DO WE HELP WITH ESTATE PLANNING?
Estate planning is not only for the wealthy and the elderly. Estate planning is critical for everyone: any age, any size estate, any marital status, and any sexual orientation.
Traditional families with two parents wishing to provide for and protect their children, assets, and themselves;
Blended families wanting to establish security for their spouse and children within a complex family dynamic;
Single parents desiring to establish an appropriate guardian for their children in the event of incapacity or death;
Unmarried individuals seeking to protect their assets and address how their medical, financial, and legal decisions will be made in the event of disability or incapacity;
Unmarried couples wanting to plan for the future of their partner, their children, and their assets;
LGBTQ couples seeking to protect their partner when the law fails to provide necessary protections and maintain control of their estate and decisions regarding their partner’s well-being in times of incapacity.
WHY DO YOU NEED AN ESTATE PLAN?
Many people assume that estate planning is only necessary if you want a will to decide who gets your assets upon your death. While that is an important part of estate planning, there are many other ways that comprehensive estate planning can help you and your family plan for the future:
To control how and when your assets get distributed.
A properly drafted Last Will and Testament or Living Trust will ensure your assets are distributed to whom you want, when and how you want.
To decide who manages your legal and financial affairs if you become disabled or incapacitated.
A Revocable Living Trust can nominate the spouse or partner as the trustee to manage your affairs if you become incapacitated through illness or accident.
To appoint the person who makes health care decisions in a medical emergency.
The Designation of Health Care Surrogate will ensure the right person is making your healthcare decisions if you become incapacitated cannot make them yourself.
To nominate someone to care for your child if you die.
A Designation of Preneed Guardian can nominate someone you want to care for and raise any surviving minor children.
To maintain confidentiality.
A Revocable Living Trust provides privacy, through avoidance of probate and its process of opening court records.
WHAT MAKES US DIFFERENT?
We have the time to dedicate to you.
Larkin Law chooses to work with a limited number of clients each year. Our practice is small on purpose. We pride ourselves on the quality of representation for each client, not the quantity of clients for our firm. This provides us with the opportunity to treat each client with the individualized attention necessary to tailor their estate plan, review their questions, and make changes in a timely manner.
We get things done quickly.
The boutique size of our firm gives our clients the benefit of a quicker response and turnaround time. Our average estate plan is prepared in less than two weeks. Clients often comment at how quickly and seamlessly their cases are handled.
You will always work with the attorney you hire.
At larger firms, you may hire one lawyer and end up working with another attorney at the firm during your case. At Larkin Law, you will always work with Attorney Lexie Larkin. She will guide you through the estate planning process every step of the way and ensure your questions and concerns are addressed in a timely manner.
We understand the complex dynamics and varying needs of families.
Attorney Larkin is a mother, stepmother, and business owner who has been helping families with legal matters in Tampa Bay since 2013. From both her personal and professional experience, she understands the complexities and nuances for parents, blended families, divorced or unmarried individuals so she can better craft an estate plan to achieve your objectives.
You will only pay a one-time flat fee for your estate planning package.
We offer several estate planning packages at varying price points. If you need something different, we can also customize one to suit your needs. Larkin Law does not charge hourly rates or replenishing retainers for our estate planning services. All packages only require a one-time payment at the outset of the case. There are no hidden fees or undisclosed costs. If you are not sure whether you need to move forward with estate planning, click here to schedule an appointment online today.
