What we do
Whether you recently lost a loved one, are dealing with their incapacity, or simply seeking to protect yourself and your family, we are here to help.
Guardianship
A Guardianship is established through a legal proceeding which allows a guardian to exercise certain legal rights on behalf of the ward after being appointed by the Court.
The Spenik Law Firm is available to serve in multiple capacities on Guardianship matters. These capacities include: representing Petitioners, representing Wards and assisting Guardians with ongoing reporting requirements.
Estate & Incapacity Planning
Whether you are starting out or nearing the end of your career, we employ a comprehensive process in regards to providing the appropriate package to you for your estate plan.
A common misconception is that an estate plan is not necessary because “there are not enough assets.” This misconception can be particularly damaging in various situations. If there are no legal documents in place, Florida law will apply and a Judge will make a determination regarding: the appointment of a guardian for your children; the appointment of a guardian in the event you are incapacitated; the determination of heirs under Florida intestacy laws. I work with individuals and families with varying assets and family dynamics.
Probate
Probate is essentially the Court-supervised process of identifying and gathering the assets of a deceased person, paying the decedent’s debts, and making a distribution of the assets to eligible beneficiaries.
If your loved one has passed away recently, contact me in order to see how we can assist you and your family in this difficult time.
