Our Estate Planning & Trust Services in Riverview
Wills & Powers of Attorney
A well-executed Florida will names guardians for children, appoints a personal representative, and directs “leftover” assets. As part of our Riverview Estate and Trust services, we also draft durable powers of attorney so someone you trust can handle finances if you are unable.
Revocable Living Trusts
A properly funded trust helps your family bypass the public probate process. As part of our Riverview Estate and Trust services, we prepare, execute, and fund revocable trusts, along with the necessary powers of attorney, so your plan actually works when needed.
Probate & Trust Administration
If a loved one has passed, we help personal representatives and trustees navigate notices to creditors, accountings, and distributions while staying on schedule.
Trust Litigation & Disputes
When trustees fail to communicate, make poor decisions, or breach fiduciary duties, our Riverview Estate and Trust team intervenes quickly. We compel accountings, seek trustee removal when needed, and work to restore order under the Florida Trust Code.
Business & Real Estate Tie-Ins
From operating agreements for Riverview small businesses to homestead deeds for new homeowners, we align property ownership and contracts with your estate plan.

FAQs
Do I still need a will if I set up a trust?
Yes. A pour-over will catches assets outside your trust and names guardians for minor children.
How do I start probate if the decedent lived in Riverview?
Probate for Riverview residents is filed with the Hillsborough County Probate Division. We handle all filings, notices, and creditor deadlines.
Can you retitle my Riverview home into my trust?
Absolutely. We prepare and record Florida-compliant deeds and confirm homestead compliance.
Are virtual meetings an option?
Yes. Phone and secure video meetings are available for busy professionals and caregivers.
