Did you know that Medicare does not pay for long-term care in a nursing home? Many families are surprised to learn this when a loved one needs extra help.

Medicaid can help cover these costs, but the rules are strict. Planning early protects your hard-earned savings from being completely wiped out by medical bills.

Call our office today at 727-853-1200 or visit our website at www.pascoelderlaw.com to schedule a consultation and learn how to protect your family's future.

It’s that time of year again and school is back in session, and that means more kids on sidewalks, at crosswalks, and waiting for the bus each morning and afternoon.
Remember to slow down in school zones. Stop for school buses when required. Stay focused on the roads and not your phones. Watch children walking or riding bikes.
This is the perfect time to make sure your affairs are in order, so your children do not have to worry. Make your appointment today to see Attorney Jaleh Lee for all your Estate Planning needs. 727-853-1200.

What is a Preneed Guardian Declaration?
A preneed guardian in Florida allows you to legally designate someone to make personal, medical, and financial decisions for you. If you are later declared incapacitated by a court, the designated person is given legal preference to serve as your guardian, provided the court finds them qualified. This proactive step prevents the court from appointing a stranger as your guardian.

This Declaration is included in our Estate Planning Packages along with Durable Power of Attorney, Last Will and Testament, HealthCare Surrogate and Living Will.

If you would like a consultation with Attorney Lee, please call our office at 727-853-1200.

In Florida, having an original will does not avoid probate; in fact, a will is a document that instructs the probate court on how to distribute assets. While the original will is essential to streamline the court-supervised process, only tools like revocable living trusts, joint ownership, or beneficiary designations can completely bypass probate.

**Key Points on Florida Wills and Probate***
Original Needed: Florida courts typically require the original, signed will to be filed. A copy makes probate much more complex, requiring additional procedures to prove its validity.

Will vs. Probate: A will guarantees that the estate will pass through the court process (probate) to settle debts and transfer assets.

Alternatives to Avoid Probate: To avoid probate entirely in Florida, assets should be placed in a revocable living trust.

Other Methods:
Joint Ownership: Property held as "joint tenants with right of survivorship" (JTWROS) or "tenants by the entirety" (for spouses).

Beneficiary Designations: "Pay on death" (POD) or "transfer on death" (TOD) bank accounts, and life insurance policies.

Lady Bird Deeds: A special type of deed used to transfer real estate upon death.

Small Estates: If the estate value is under $75,000, a "Summary Administration" may be used, which is a faster form of probate.

We speak a lot about Estate Planning Packages and the importance of having your affairs in order. Clients receive FIVE documents in the package but what do they do?

1. Living Will - also known as an advance directive, that outlines your preferences for medical treatment, such as life-prolonging procedures, feeding tubes, and ventilation, if you become incapacitated with a terminal condition, end-stage condition, or persistent vegetative state.

2. Durable Power of Attorney - allows a principal to appoint an agent to manage financial/legal affairs, remaining effective even if the principal becomes incapacitated.

3. Health Care Surrogate - a person you authorize to make medical decisions for you when you are unable to make your own decisions.

4. Pre-needed Guardian - (Declaration of Pre-Need Guardian) is a legal document allowing competent adults to pre-select who will serve as their guardian (or guardian for their minor children) if they become incapacitated, ensuring loved ones manage personal/financial affairs without court intervention.

5. Last Will & Testament - outlines asset distribution, guardianship for minors, and executor nomination upon your passing.

If you would like to talk to Attorney Lee about an Estate Planning Package, she is now offering 15 minute complimentary calls. Call & book your session today! (727) 853 - 1200.

Our office will be closed today in observance of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Day. We encourage everyone to take this day to reflect on Dr. King’s extraordinary legacy of courage, compassion, and service. His vision of equality and his belief in the power of community continue to guide and inspire me in the work I do each and every day.

“The moral arc of the universe is long, but it bends towards justice”. -Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
