In a broader sense, it is the process of creating and implementing a program for the protection and transfer of wealth.
A. Florida estate planning is much more than just having a will. In a broader sense, it is the process of creating and implementing a program for the protection and transfer of wealth. Just as each person is unique, so is the estate planning for each person. Florida estate planning begins during your life and can continue long after your death.
A. First, we should define Florida Probate, as most people do not understand what it means. Florida Probate is the administration of estates. A personal representative or attorney will present your will, if you have one, to the probate court with an inventory of assets and liabilities of your estate.
A. Move back to the state from which you came. Florida has a six month residence requirement before you can even file for a divorce. If you can wait six months, the divorce procedure is fairly simple, if your marriage is irretrievably broken. A property and separation agreement can be written if both parties agree and if husband and wife can concur on property distribution, alimony, child support, custody and visitation rights.
I'm not certain I can qualify for Florida Medicaid. How can my estate be preserved from the potentially overwhelming costs of nursing home care? A. It is not uncommon for individuals to pay as much as $70,000.00 a year for nursing home care for a family member, and that cost may not even include medicine and medical care.

5 years ago, my father and I went in to update his legal paperwork which included a Trust for his property & the Quit Claim Deed to file that Trust with the county. All of that was created by Pippen in proper order, but for reasons I can't begin to understand, the Deed was never filed with the county. When I called the office to ask why, he said the way he does it is he waits for the person to die before filing.
I thought for 5 years that this had been taken care of. *Why* would anyone do it that way?! If you wait, that means a parent's kid(s) have to be able to find that paperwork (if they even

Joseph F. Pippin is a fraudster in my book. Wrote two trust agreements, two wills, an two Quit-Claim Deeds, for my aged, deaf and impaired mother. $1.1M in liquid assets disappeared out of her allegedly trust. Of course Pippin never recorded any the paper work. When I called to inquire about my beneficiary status, he told me to hire an attorney. He's a senior- citizen financial predator in my book.

Attorney Pippen has served us for many years. His law firm employees have always been professional, courteous and helpful in answering basic questions we have on occasion to call in and ask on different particulars of the law. Attorney Pippen is extremely knowledgeable in areas of law in which he practices. Pinellas County is fortunate to have such an attorney available to its community. D.L.

If you have any assets at all, you need to call this office and get a trust set up. Avoid probate which can take up the two years and tons of extra fees that you don't need to pay and your loved ones don't need to pay. A trust will bypass all this. Call today and get piece of mind. Only $795 for a basic legal trust.

I just had my first experience with this firm and I found Joseph and his staff's extremely efficient, thorough, knowledgeable and very well priced. He cut out all the superfluous complications and processes that I had experienced elsewhere and wasted no time in completing what was started. I'd highly recommend this firm.

I have known Joe Pippen for years and he is an excellent attorney/ person and has your best interest at heart. He has always been fair and proffessional at all times. I highly recommend this firm. He is a strong believer in God and truly cares for your issue. If i could give him more stars I definitely would.
