Your estate plan is more than a legal formality—it’s a personal blueprint for how your legacy, property, and values are preserved and passed on. At Perez-Roura Law, our Miami estate planning lawyers guide you through every step of the process with clarity and compassion. Whether you’re just starting a family or preparing for retirement, we help you craft a customized plan that honors your wishes, protects your assets, and reduces the risk of family conflict or unnecessary court battles. It’s not just about planning for the end—it’s about planning wisely for the life you lead and the future you care about most.
The Foundation of Every Estate Plan
Every well-structured estate plan begins with key legal documents: a last will and testament, durable power of attorney, healthcare directive, and possibly one or more trusts. These tools ensure your voice is heard—even if you become incapacitated—and that your assets are distributed exactly as you intend. Perez-Roura Law takes the time to understand your specific goals, family structure, and financial situation so that each component of your plan reflects your needs and long-term vision. We don’t offer one-size-fits-all templates—we provide custom estate planning services built around you.
Wills and Trusts: What’s the Difference?
Wills and trusts serve similar purposes but operate in very different ways. A will is a public document that takes effect after death and must go through the probate process. A trust, on the other hand, can take effect immediately and often avoids probate entirely. Trusts offer privacy, faster asset transfer, and additional control over how and when your estate is distributed. Our estate planning attorneys in Miami help you decide whether a will, a trust, or both are best suited to your situation—and we draft every document with precision and care so your intentions are honored without confusion or delay.
Planning for Incapacity
A complete estate plan includes safeguards for times when you may be unable to make decisions due to illness, injury, or age-related decline. That’s where advance directives come in. We help you draft healthcare surrogate designations, living wills, and durable powers of attorney that appoint trusted individuals to make medical or financial decisions on your behalf. These legal tools avoid the need for court-appointed guardians and give your family clear guidance in difficult moments. Perez-Roura Law ensures these documents comply with Florida law and clearly reflect your wishes—leaving no room for uncertainty or dispute.
Minimizing Taxes and Avoiding Probate
Many families come to us with the goal of avoiding probate and reducing estate taxes. We use a range of strategies—from revocable living trusts to gifting programs and strategic asset titling—to help minimize tax liability and speed up the distribution of your estate. We also guide you through beneficiary designations for retirement accounts and life insurance policies, ensuring that your plan is comprehensive and coordinated. For high-net-worth individuals or those with complex assets like businesses or real estate portfolios, we offer advanced planning options that preserve value and maximize flexibility for future generations.
Estate Planning for Every Stage of Life
Estate planning isn’t just for retirees. Young parents need to name guardians for their children and secure financial stability. Mid-career professionals benefit from planning for incapacity and structuring inheritances. Seniors may focus on Medicaid planning, asset protection, or charitable giving. No matter your age or life stage, Perez-Roura Law offers tailored solutions that evolve with your family and financial goals. We conduct thorough reviews and updates so your estate plan grows with you—adapting to new laws, relationships, or milestones in life.
