Probate, Wills, and Trusts

Central Florida Probate Lawyer

Everyone would like to control where their estate goes after they pass away (by way of a trust or will, or combination of trusts and a will.) However, because the prospect of passing an estate on requires individuals to confront their own mortality, estate planning often times gets postponed.  Unfortunately, sometimes individuals can pass away, leaving behind a loving family, without ever having drafted a will.  In those cases, the state dictates the distribution of your assets.  At Richard A. Heller, P.A., we can assist you in your endeavor to pass your estate in accordance with your wishes.  Even if you have an existing will, circumstances may have changed.  Perhaps a newborn, a new addition to your family, or you no longer want a listed beneficiary to inherit (for example, death or divorce.)  If you are resident of Central Florida (including Orlando, Kissimmee, Sanford, Daytona, Tavares,  Lakeland, and Melbourne), and would like to draft a will, trust, or have other probate issues, contact an experienced Central Florida probate lawyer today at Richard A. Hellar, P.A..  Discover how to put our probate experience to work for you.

Orlando Living Wills Attorney

Most people are familiar with Terri Schiavo, where the family was engaged in a 15 year dispute on whether to continue prolonging Terri Schiavo’s life via artificial means.  Her husband claimed she had told him she did not wish to live if she was mentally incapacitated.  Her parents insisted that she was a practicing Catholic and would never have wanted to have her life terminated under any circumstances.  The legal battle that ensued was devastating to family members.  Some of this may have been avoided if Ms. Schaivo had a living will.  A living will can express your desires regarding being kept alive via artificial means, or can, through a durable power of attorney, appoint someone to make that decision in the event you are unable.  If you, or a loved one, do not have a living will, contact an Orlando living wills attorney today.  We will be happy to assist you in preparing a legal living will.
