Five core values stand behind everything we do Our team of attorneys have built Legacy Protection Lawyers around five core values that inform our actions and underlie our service every day. We strive to always be: Knowledgeable – Through continuing education, peer networking, years of experience and a team approach to client service, you’re sure to receive advice based on a thorough understanding of the law and the practical effects of the choices you make. Responsive – The leading complaint of consumers of legal services is a lack of communication and responsiveness from their lawyer. At Legacy Protection Lawyers, our clients experience just the opposite and frequently compliment us on how quick we are to respond to their questions with helpful, informative answers. Reliable – It’s simple. We tell you what we’ll do, and then we get it done. Clients trust that their work will be performed in a timely manner to the highest professional standards. Diligent – Our attorneys are thoughtful, attentive, detail-oriented, hardworking and persistent. You’re spending your hard-earned money on vital areas of legal assistance, and you should expect nothing less from the lawyers you’ve hired to meet your needs. Compassionate – We truly desire to help our clients. We know how important estate planning and probate matters are to you. We take the time to understand your needs and tailor our services to meet those needs. Comprehensive Tampa Bay Estate Planning Estate planning is more than just drafting a will. It’s about seeing that you are properly cared for during your lifetime, in good times and bad, as well as seeing that those whom you love are properly looked after when you are gone. We’ll thoughtfully prepare the right set of wills, trusts and advance directives that meet your specific needs, while also addressing long-term care planning and the need for guardianships, should they arise. We’ll help you plan to secure your future through asset protection and wealth preservation strategies, and establish a sound business succession plan for your family business. Florida Probate and Trust Administration Lawyers Probating a will or administering a trust or estate can be a lengthy, expensive and complicated process. All too often the task falls on a loved one who is not only grieving but may be ill-equipped to deal with complex legal matters related to property, taxes, investments and legal claims of creditors. We provide the level of probate assistance needed to complete these tasks efficiently and effectively, so heirs and beneficiaries can receive the inheritance that was intended without adversity or undue delay. Estate & Trust Litigation Careful estate planning can prevent a great number of disputes from arising, or put important protections in place when disputes do arise. It is impossible to predict or prevent every type of dispute from occurring, however, so it is important to know where to turn when disputes do arise. Our team of seasoned litigators are experienced in inheritance disputes, will contests, trust litigation, and involuntary guardianship proceedings throughout Tampa Bay and Florida statewide, including representing interested parties from out of state in Florida probate matters. From pre-suit to appeal, we work to resolve disputed matters at the earliest stage that is in our clients’ best interests. Plan. Protect. Prosper. We understand how important estate planning is to you and to the future for yourself and those you love. We work hard to earn your trust and provide you with the highest quality of legal service and personal attention. For help with estate planning in the Tampa Bay area or assistance with probate administration or estate and trust litigation in Florida statewide, call Legacy Protection Lawyers in St. Petersburg at 727-471-5868 or schedule a consultation today, and get the advice and representation you need and deserve.
