Why Estate Planning Matters
Estate planning isn’t just for the wealthy—it’s for anyone who wants to ensure their family is cared for and their wishes are respected.
Without a plan in place, your loved ones could face:
- Court delays if your estate goes through probate
- Unexpected asset distribution by the state
- Family disputes over money, property, or guardianship
- No one authorized to handle your finances or healthcare if you become incapacitated
- Increased stress and legal costs during an already difficult time
In Florida, these problems are common—but avoidable. A clear estate plan lets you decide who receives your property, who manages your affairs, how your medical decisions are made, and how to reduce taxes, costs, and court involvement.
At Southron Firm, P.A., our Tampa estate planning attorneys help you make these decisions now, so your loved ones don’t have to deal with the legal consequences later. Whether you’re starting fresh or updating existing documents, we make the process clear and manageable.
Our Estate Planning Services
At Southron Firm, P.A., we offer a full range of estate planning services tailored to your unique needs. From drafting wills and trusts to setting up powers of attorney and family offices, our team guides you through every step to protect your assets and secure your family’s future.
Trust and Wills
Trusts and wills are the foundation of a solid estate plan. A will lets you decide who inherits your assets and name guardians for your children. Trusts give you more control over how your property is passed down—helping avoid court involvement and maintain privacy.
At Southron Firm, P.A., we prepare a variety of wills and trusts tailored to your needs, including:
- Last Will and Testament
- Revocable Trusts (Living Trusts)
- Irrevocable Trusts
Many Tampa clients come to us unsure which option fits their situation best. At Southron Firm, P.A., we make estate planning clear and straightforward. We help you choose the right tools to protect your family and your assets, all in line with Florida law.
Contact Southron Firm, P.A. today to get started on your will or trust—protect your family and your future with a plan that works.
Avoiding Probate
Probate is the court process that manages your estate after you pass away. In Florida, probate can take months and add unnecessary costs and delays your family doesn’t need.
At Southron Firm, P.A., we focus on helping you avoid probate through legal tools like:
- Last Will and Testament
- Revocable Trust
- Joint ownership
- Beneficiary designations
- Durable power of attorney
- Health care surrogates
- Advanced directives
- Lady Bird deeds
For example, a client in New Tampa owned several properties. We helped set up a trust so their family could receive the assets quickly and privately—avoiding probate.
Our Tampa estate planning attorneys work to make the process easier for your loved ones, so they can focus on what matters most.
Irrevocable Trusts
Irrevocable trusts are powerful estate planning tools that can provide strong asset protection and help reduce estate taxes. Once assets are placed in an irrevocable trust, they are generally no longer considered part of your estate, which can shield them from creditors, lawsuits, or other financial risks.
With an irrevocable trust, you can:
- Protect assets from creditors or legal claims
- Reduce potential estate taxes
- Preserve wealth for future generations
- Plan for long-term care or special needs beneficiaries
Our attorneys guide you through every step of the process, helping you choose the right trust structure to achieve your goals and give your family lasting security.
Asset Protection
Protecting your assets means protecting what you’ve worked hard to build—whether that’s your home, savings, investments, or other valuables. Asset protection helps shield you from lawsuits, creditors, and unexpected risks that could threaten your financial security.
We’ve helped many Tampa residents design plans that separate personal and investment assets, using tools like trusts, family offices, and specific ownership strategies tailored to your needs. At Southron Firm, P.A., we develop personalized asset protection plans that reduce your risks while keeping you in control of your wealth.
Power of Attorney
Estate planning also means planning for times when you might not be able to make decisions yourself. A power of attorney lets someone you trust handle your financial or medical matters if you’re unable.
Every adult in Tampa should have these powers of attorney in place. Without them, your family may face costly and time-consuming court proceedings just to help pay bills or make medical choices on your behalf.
At Southron Firm, P.A., we draft powers of attorney tailored to your needs, including both durable powers of attorney, which remain effective if you become incapacitated, and non-durable powers of attorney, which are limited to specific tasks or timeframes. This ensures your chosen agents have the right authority—nothing more, nothing less—so you can have peace of mind.
Family Office
A family office provides comprehensive legal, financial, and administrative support, consolidating all aspects of your family’s wealth, investments, and estate planning into a single, cohesive plan. This approach simplifies complex matters, ensures every decision aligns with your long-term goals, and protects your family’s assets across generations.
At Southron Firm, P.A., our Tampa family office attorneys help individuals and families structure, maintain, and update family offices tailored to your goals. We work closely with you to streamline decision-making, ensure compliance, and protect your family’s financial future.
Our team provides personalized guidance so your family can focus on what matters most—preserving your legacy and securing your financial future.
