Die without a will in Florida and the state decides who inherits. The formula ignores stepchildren, unmarried partners, and the charity you loved. It does not care what you would have wanted. A will is the cheapest insurance you will ever buy against the wrong outcome.

We are the title sponsor of the 46th Annual Pine School Social and Auction on November 14.

What sold me is where the money goes. The cash call at this event funds professional growth for teachers. Good teachers are the whole ballgame. Schools that invest in them keep them, and the kids are the ones who benefit.

Stuart and Hobe Sound have been good to this firm. Glad to give something back.

When a child inherits money or receives an injury settlement over a certain size, Florida law may require a guardianship of the property to protect it. Parents do not automatically control those funds. If your child is coming into money, get advice before the court gets involved for you.

A Treasure Coast trafficker is going to prison for twenty years.

FDLE arrested Daniel Adam Rhodes in December 2022. Agents said he ran a trafficking operation for years out of hotels and motels along the Treasure Coast, advertised women for commercial s*x online, and supplied them with drugs to keep them in it.

One of those women was 27 years old. She died in a Port St. Lucie motel room. FDLE said Rhodes injected her with a lethal dose of fentanyl and co***ne.

On January 13, 2025, he was sentenced to twenty years in Florida state prison after pleading guilty to two counts of human trafficking and to manslaughter. He will register as a s*x offender for life. He faced life in prison.

Trafficking does not always look like a locked door. Sometimes the lock is a needle. Sometimes it is a debt, a bed for the night, or a phone somebody else is holding. Victims are not criminals. They are people who were controlled.

Authorities never released her name. She was 27. Her life counted.

If you or someone you know was trafficked, please contact our office.

July is when a lot of Treasure Coast parents stop waiting. School starts in August, and nobody wants to move a kid mid-semester.

That timing does two things at once. When a Florida divorce involving minor children gets filed, courts can often put a temporary parenting plan and timesharing schedule in place early, guided by what's best for the child, and those orders frequently get built around the school-year calendar.

Meanwhile, the same filing date starts the financial clock. It's generally the date a closely held business gets valued, and both sides begin exchanging tax returns, account statements, and a financial affidavit within 45 days of service or before any temporary hearing, whichever comes first.

Those two tracks stay separate. Your kids' schedule doesn't become a bargaining chip against the asset column.

You've got a buyer lined up for the waterfront lot. Your spouse won't sign off until there's a new appraisal.

Florida courts value marital real estate as close to the trial date as they reasonably can, not the day the divorce was filed. That number almost always comes from an appraisal. Appraisals take time. Scheduling the walkthrough, waiting on the report, getting both sides to agree on the result adds delay to a case that otherwise felt finished.

While that number gets sorted, a temporary order can decide who covers the mortgage, insurance, and upkeep, and who actually lives on the property in the meantime.

Call us at 772-708-0952 if a fresh appraisal is what's stalling your settlement. We can walk through what's actually holding up your case.

Planning to move more than fifty miles with your child after a Florida custody case? You need written agreement from the other parent or a court order first. Moving without one can cost you timesharing. Get ahead of it. The relocation statute has strict requirements and short response windows.
