LAW OFFICE OF JOHN W. WEST III

The Practice

      

THE PRACTICE:

The Trust and Estate planning practice includes advising clients in all matters relating to estate planning.  We assist clients with their estate planning through preparation of Wills, Revocable Trusts, Irrevocable Trusts, Living Wills, Health Care Directives and Durable Powers of Attorney.  We provide family wealth transfer planning to minimize estate and gift taxes through the formation of Family Foundations, Charitable Remainder Trusts, Qualified Personal Residence Trusts and Grantor Remainder Trusts.

As an experienced Elder Law Attorney, we help families enhance their lives today and secure their futures for tomorrow.  We excel at guiding seniors, their children, and their families through the often confusing maze of financial and legal decisions.  We create plans that ensure the well-being of families, the preservation of their assets, and the accomplishment of cherished family goals.


The firm represents trustees and personal representatives throughout the estate and trust settlement process.  We prepare all required federal estate tax fiduciary returns.  The firm frequently serves as co-counsel with out-of-state law firms in Florida probate proceedings.
