Practice areas
Every service below is handled personally by Kolleen — from the first conversation through signing, filing, and ongoing updates.
Wills & Trusts
A will or trust decides who raises your children, who manages your affairs if you can't, and who inherits what you've built. Kolleen designs each plan around your actual family — blended families, out-of-state property, minor children, special-needs beneficiaries, and second marriages all change what the right plan looks like.
Typical documents include:
Why work with a probate attorney
Florida probate has strict deadlines and filing requirements. A missed step can delay an estate for months. Kolleen handles the court filings, creditor notices, and asset distribution so your family isn't navigating it alone.
Probate
When someone passes away owning property in Florida, their estate typically needs to go through probate before assets can be distributed. Kolleen represents personal representatives (executors) and family members through both formal administration and, where eligible, Florida's simpler summary administration process — explaining each step clearly along the way.
Medicaid & Elder Law
Nursing home and long-term care costs can erase a lifetime of savings in a matter of years. Kolleen helps clients plan proactively — well before care is needed — and helps families already facing a care crisis understand their options for qualifying for Medicaid without losing everything.
Title Insurance
Kolleen also assists with title insurance and closing services — useful for clients who are purchasing property, transferring a home into a trust, or settling real estate as part of an estate.
Ask about title insurance as part of your estate plan, or for a standalone real estate closing.
That's exactly what the free consultation is for.
