Estate Planning in Tampa: Protecting Your Legacy
Estate planning is a crucial process that ensures your assets are distributed according to your wishes after your passing, while also minimizing tax liabilities and avoiding potential disputes among beneficiaries. In Tampa, Florida, estate planning involves a thorough understanding of state laws, including those governing wills, trusts, probate, and taxation.
At Bleakley Bavol Denman & Grace, our Tampa estate planning lawyers have extensive experience assisting individuals and families in creating personalized estate plans that reflect their unique circumstances and goals. We work closely with our clients to develop comprehensive strategies that encompass:
Wills: A will is a foundational document in any estate plan, outlining how your assets should be distributed upon your death. Our attorneys can help you draft a legally sound will that accurately reflects your intentions and ensures your loved ones are provided for.
Trusts: Trusts offer additional flexibility and control over the distribution of your assets, allowing you to specify conditions and timelines for inheritance. Whether you’re considering a revocable living trust, irrevocable trust, or special needs trust, our team can guide you through the process of establishing and administering trusts to achieve your objectives.
Probate Avoidance: Probate is the legal process through which a deceased person’s assets are distributed and debts are settled. However, probate can be time-consuming, expensive, and public. Our attorneys employ various strategies to help clients minimize the impact of probate, such as the use of trusts and beneficiary designations.
Tax Planning: Estate taxes can significantly diminish the value of your estate if not properly addressed. We offer comprehensive tax planning services aimed at minimizing estate tax liabilities and maximizing the preservation of assets for future generations.

A large part of BBDG’s overall practice has consistently been providing representation to parties in commercial disputes.
