Trust Counsel, P.L.

Trust Counsel, P.L. Estate Planning & Administration Attorneys | Helping Protect & Pass Down Wealth Through Generations We aren’t like that.

You have worked hard all your life to accumulate personal assets and we at Marenco Law want to ensure that you pass on your legacy to you family, at the right time and in the manner you desire, rather than have your hard-earned assets be consumed by estate taxes, creditors and probate expenses. I want every client to have the security of knowing that they have taken care of planning for their fami

ly in the very best possible way. I strive to foster a long-term relationship with clients in order to develop a plan ensuring that their family will be taken care of the way that they want even if they are not able to. I charge only flat fees agreed to in advance; so clients can call with an update or changes to their circumstances without getting a surprise bill in the mail. I communicate with my clients regularly via emails, newsletters and phone calls so that I can help clients keep their plans current with their changing family, assets, and the forever changing law. A plan that is done once, stuck in a drawer and never looked at again is not going to be the best plan to take care of one's family when it is most needed. Some attorneys merely prepare documents for their clients once and don’t follow up over time and don’t make sure their clients assets are titled properly. Of course I draft documents such as Healthcare Directives, Powers of Attorney, Wills, Trusts, family Limited Partnerships. These legal documents are a necessity, but they are a byproduct of my relationship with my clients. Estate Planning is as complex and varied as the people it serves. It is multi-dimensional and must be geared in a sensitive manner to the achievement of a variety of objectives: Wealth preservation and asset protection; avoidance of probate; elimination or reduction of estate taxes; prevention against the erosion of retirement savings accounts to unnecessary taxes and management of assets in the event of illness or incapacity, to name but a few. Our lawyers come from a broad range of personal backgrounds and legal experiences. We rely on the knowledge of our entire team of attorneys to resolve your legal matter. At Marenco Law, we know that hiring a lawyer is something that most people try to avoid. Our goal is to make your legal experience as smooth and pleasant as possible. Once your estate plan is in place, you will have peace of mind knowing that you have provided for yourself and your family no matter what happens.

Heath Ledger drafted his Will before his daughter was born, never updated it, and unintentionally omitted her entirely.

👉 You might think only everyday families make this mistake, but even major celebrities fall into the trap of an outdated Estate Plan.

It’s National Make a Will Month—the perfect time to highlight a crucial conversation between Estate Planning Attorney Gilberto Matute and Leslie Marenco. They break down this exact scenario, which is a costly oversight we see play out with business owners across South Florida every day.

In this episode, Gilberto explains the importance of planning for the unexpected and the power of using a Trust with staggered distributions to ensure no one is left out.

Lately, the headlines about seniors falling victim to undue influence—being mistreated, isolated, or even heavily medicated—are INSANE.

What do these tragic stories all have in common besides the obvious abuse? The wrong person is “taking care” of them with the sole purpose of rewriting their will and stealing their legacy.

It sounds like a plot worthy of a telenovela, but it happens way more often than what makes it into the news.

I always say that Miami can be a crazy place, but one thing I absolutely love about Florida law is how fiercely it protects against this. If a case of undue influence is brought forward, the court will shut it down—a will simply cannot be validly signed under those circumstances.

But we shouldn't wait for a court battle to protect our seniors. We can avoid this nightmare entirely. Here is how:

✅ Establish a Power of Attorney early
✅ Use a Revocable Living Trust.
✅ Maintain a relationship with your attorney

Don’t leave this for later. Your loved ones are going to thank you.

If you don't have an estate plan in place by the time of your death, Florida Law will have a plan for your assets... and you’re going to hate it.

Intestacy laws (what happens when you die without a Will) don’t care about your family dynamics. 👉 They use a generic, cold, mathematical formula.

❌They don't care who took care of you.
❌They don't care about your partner if you aren't legally married.

Letting Probate Court take over is like leaving your front door wide open and hoping for the best. It’s expensive, it’s public, and it drains the money you worked so hard to save.

Your legacy should be about protecting your family, not burdening them. Don’t let Florida Law plan for you.

Most people think bringing up estate planning with their friends is too personal or taboo. It isn't.

When a sudden tragedy happens, leaving a family without a plan doesn't just cause emotional pain. Suddenly, your friend's spouse and kids are locked out of bank accounts, losing money to court fees, and waiting months just to settle the estate.

Assuming "they'll figure it out later" or avoiding the topic because they aren't ultra-wealthy leaves the people you care about completely exposed. 👉 Learn how to have this conversation in our latest blog: https://trustcounsel.com/?p=19240

At Trust Counsel, we make sure to walk you through each step of the way to protect what matters the most. 👪💙

"Estate Planning is for the rich" is one of the many outdated beliefs keeping Florida families from protecting what matters most.

The reality is that Estate Planning isn’t about how much money you have in the bank.

✨ It’s about protecting the people you love.
✨ It’s about keeping your family out of court.
✨ It’s about making sure your kids are raised by who YOU choose.

Getting your plan in place isn't just for the wealthy. It's a profound act of love and a powerful way to break generational cycles.

Estate Planning isn’t for the rich only. Have we changed your mind?
