Estate Planning

Florida Lawyers in Jacksonville

Effective estate planning offers asset protection and preservation. Our lawyers at Naugle & Smith work with clients to create estate planning that not only allows the client to pass on property according to the client’s wishes, but also minimizes the tax burden for beneficiaries. Proper estate planning puts in place decisions regarding elder care and management of affairs should a senior citizen become mentally or physically incapacitated. Durable powers of attorney, financial powers of attorney, joint tenancy, living wills, Medicaid planning, conservatorships, trusts, wills and various other legal approaches can be used to carry out estate planning.
