Probate 20%

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.

20%
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.

5%
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.

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
