Estate Planning 20%

Estate Planning requires a blend of finesse, strategic planning, and sensitivity to family dynamics. I view an Estate Plan as the opportunity to create a legacy that can protect your assets, avoid probate, and minimize taxes for you and your heirs.

Excellent Estate Attorney

After switching from another Attorney for our estate planning, we found Jeff Kuhns. He is very knowledgeable and clearly described all of out options. He is the kind of attorney we can trust to be responsive to our needs now and in the future.

Caretaker Greed

My father was an 81 year old man who spent a month in hospital (some kind of procedure every week). He almost died a couple of times. He then went to rehab for a couple of months. Immediate family and dr's agreed he needed assisted living and then possibly go home. A great niece who he may have seen ...twice went and got him. Within 2 months she had a new will leaving her everything. She alienated him from everyone. Less than a year he was dead. A friend called to offer me condolences a week later and that is how we found out. I went on Avvo site hunting an attorney and found Jeffrey Kuhns. He was sympathetic, professional and very knowledgeable. At our consult he advised that he couldn't do what we wanted and needed to do. He referred us to someone he knew could. I cannot say enough good things about him. Thank you Jeffrey!

Clearing Trusts and Probate

I was referred to Jeffrey Kuhns by my primary law firm who explained that Mr. Kuhns would be the best to handle this complex case for my family. My siblings and me had inherited a plot of land in Punta Gorda Florida. Although there were over two acres of land, only half had a clear title. The other h...alf was included in a will from a distant (aunt), dating back to 1966. The complexities of which were so confusing. Jeff walked us through this step by step and explained everything to us in clear and concise terms. He made this process feel that we played an important part in this process and kept us informed, nearly on a weekly basis lasting months. Needless to say, all was made right and we have a clear property that we are able to list for sale, (successfully) I might add. He has been a Godsend to my family and me and we are forever grateful.

Efficient and Thorough

I recently came in from out-of-state to meet with Jeff and he helped me with various estate planning needs for my father including Power of Attorney documents and updating his will. He was very efficient and offered great advice and assistance. He patiently explained all the documents to my father ...and was very thorough. Jeff was a pleasure to work with through the entire process, he was very knowledgeable, responsive and professional. I would highly recommend his services to anyone.
