Estate Planning

A well-crafted estate plan protects your family, preserves your assets, and ensures your wishes are carried out. We create plans as unique as the families we serve.

Why Estate Planning Matters

Estate planning is about more than documents — it's about peace of mind. A comprehensive estate plan ensures your loved ones are provided for, your assets are protected, and your healthcare wishes are respected.

Without proper planning, Florida law determines how your assets are distributed, who manages your affairs, and who makes medical decisions on your behalf. These defaults rarely match what families actually want.

At Zacharia Frey PLLC, we take the time to understand your unique family situation and goals, then craft a plan that gives you control and protects what matters most.

You Need an Estate Plan If You:

  • Own a home or other real estate
  • Have minor or dependent children
  • Want to avoid the probate process
  • Have retirement accounts or life insurance
  • Want to protect assets from creditors
  • Care about who makes medical decisions for you
  • Want to minimize estate taxes
  • Have a blended family

Wills

A properly drafted will ensures your assets are distributed according to your wishes and can name guardians for minor children. We create wills that are clear, legally sound, and tailored to your family.

Revocable Living Trusts

Avoid probate, maintain privacy, and ensure seamless management of your assets during your lifetime and beyond. A living trust provides flexibility and control.

Irrevocable Trusts

Protect assets from creditors, reduce estate tax exposure, and plan for Medicaid eligibility with strategically designed irrevocable trusts.

Powers of Attorney

Designate someone you trust to manage your financial and legal affairs if you become unable to do so. A durable power of attorney is an essential part of every estate plan.

Advance Directives

Living wills and healthcare surrogate designations ensure your medical treatment preferences are honored and that someone you trust can make healthcare decisions on your behalf.

Probate & Estate Administration

When a loved one passes, we guide personal representatives and families through the probate process, trust administration, and estate settlement with care and efficiency.
