What happens after you reach out

  1. A free initial consultationThe office offers one to anyone with an estate planning or business litigation question. Fees are discussed there; the firm publishes no fee schedule.

  2. A short questionnaire for estate planning clientsNew clients complete a short-form questionnaire before the first consultation, so the design meeting is spent on decisions rather than paperwork.

  3. The design meetingThe path from there is set out on the home page, from the kitchen table to, if a business dispute requires it, the courthouse.

What should I know before the first meeting?

Yes. The office offers a free initial consultation. Call (813) 248-8900 to set one up, or send a message from the contact page.

No. A will has no authority until death and does not avoid probate; it is the admission ticket to it. A will is still where you nominate guardians for minor children. Probate is avoided with tools such as a revocable living trust, transfer-on-death and payable-on-death designations, or the right form of joint ownership.

If you fail to prepare your estate plan, the laws of Florida will decide what will happen to your assets after your death, and a court will decide who raises your minor children.

A properly drafted special needs trust can hold money for a loved one without counting against SSI and Medicaid eligibility. A third-party trust is funded by family. A self-settled trust holds the beneficiary's own money and must pay the state back, to the extent public benefits were received, when the beneficiary dies.

Yes. If it makes more sense to settle a claim quietly than to fight and try to win, the Gegan Law Office will tell you so. If a clear victory is your priority, the office will fight for you.

New estate planning clients receive a short-form questionnaire to complete before the first consultation, so the design meeting can be spent on decisions rather than paperwork.
