When someone passes,. we help with the transfer of their assets and estate to their heirs and beneficiaries.

Trusts 20%

A properly prepared and funded trust can avoid probate, and the costs and delays associated with probate. We prepare trusts which are specifically designed for the unique needs of each family.

Medicaid and Medicare 5%

We help with qualification and application for medicaid assistance for skilled nursing care. Nursing home care costs can easily exceed $7,000 per month, which can eat through one's life savings in very short order. Medicaid is a federal program which can help with those costs for those who qualify.

Wills and Living Wills 5%

Wills can be thought of as instructions to a probate court for the distribution of a persons assets after he or she passes away. If one dies without preparing a will, he or she is considered to be intestate and Florida law will determine who will receive that person's assets.

He has a great personable manner!!

Henry made out my will after my husband passed. Since I have 8 children, Henry truly was looking out for. my best interest. He asked all of the right questions to give me the opportunity to consider things I would never have thought about. He knows all the details of the law in regards to estate p...lanning. I have total confidence in his advice.

Graduation present...

My husband and I decided to offer our son as part of his graduation present, a will... This may sound extremely unusual I can admit but if you think about it, they are legally adults and most likely leaving home for college. What if, God forbids, something was to happen to them? How many of us have t...aken the time to ask our children if they want to be cremated or buried? DNR? How much information can we get if them end up in a hospital because of the privacy/ HIPPA rules? What about their bank accounts/ credit cards/ loans? Completely unnatural for a parent to think that something tragic could happen to our adult children but trust me, the peace of mind that Henry provided to our family is priceless.

I highly recommend Mr. Kulakowski for planning your estate; he ensures all your concerns are addressed to your sat...isfaction providing peace of mind which is priceless.

An Attorney You Can Trust

My husband and I used Mr. Kulakowski to prepare our Trust documents. He was extremely competent and knowledgeable and we would definitely use him again for our estate planning needs. Mr. Kulakowski also handled the probate administration for my grandfather. Both he and his assistant were wonderful... to deal with during such a stressful period in our life. I would definitely refer him to my friends
