Important Estate Planning Issues After Divorce
When you are married, there are likely many legal documents that have your spouse's name on them. Many of these tend to be estate planning documents that should be updated after a divorce. At the Longwood, Florida based law firm of Michelle A. Barry, P.A., we provide the estate planning services you need to get your affairs in order after a divorce.
Our founding attorney, Michelle A. Barry, comes from a broad legal background that includes helping many clients with a wide variety of estate planning issues. She has a thorough understanding of Florida estate planning law and she is prepared to help you with any need you may have.
Getting Your Affairs Back in Order
It is important to get started with the revision of your estate planning documents as soon as possible. Until you do, the documents with your former spouse's name on them are still in effect and any authority given by those documents remains intact.
You want to be sure that your documentation accurately represents your wishes as to how you want your property to be distributed, how you want your medical care to be handled, and designate who you want making financial decisions on your behalf should you later become incapable of doing so.
We help clients with the following matters after a divorce:
- Wills
- Trusts
- Living wills and advanced medical directives
- Powers of Attorney
