Services
The Law Office of Brian C. Perlin, P.A. employs a multi-disciplinary approach in preparing estate planning documents in Miami, FL. Our attorneys have a background in tax and finance, in addition to extensive expertise in elder law, probate, and trust administration, among others. With several practice areas in estate planning, we can explore various possible legal concerns in your situation.
Probate and estate administration are the processes through which estate assets are transferred after death. If probate avoidance planning has not been implemented prior to death, Florida requires a probate court proceeding, if the deceased was a resident or owned assets in the state of Florida.
During the probate proceeding, the decedent's appointed personal representative manages assets, pays any debts, files required tax returns and various court documents, and distributes the estate assets.However, the court may at any time require the process to be supervised. In a supervised probate, the probate judge must approve every detail of the estate administration.

In a supervised probate, the probate judge must approve every detail of the estate administration.
In the absence of any planning to the contrary, your estate will be distributed according to Florida's laws of intestacy. This so-called "default" estate plan might not reflect your wishes. However, with advance planning, your estate will be administered according to your preferences. A last will and testament is one part of a comprehensive estate plan.
The Law Office of Brian C. Perlin, P.A. helps families handle the specific legal challenges faced by seniors in Miami. Our elder care attorneys will help you navigate the complex systems of elder law in Florida and make informed decisions about the well-being of your loved ones. Apart from the capability to handle the intricacies of elder law, our lawyers possess a background in tax and estate planning.
Asset protection planning is designed to shield assets against risks posed by lawsuits, potential creditors, or pending bankruptcy. Asset protection is especially important for professionals and business owners whose personal assets may be at risk in the state of Florida. State and federal laws exempt some of your assets from the claims of creditors.

Brian Perlin and Shelley Booken have helped us with our estate planning for many years. Because of their careful and thoughtful planning, when my husband passed away this year, I did not have any probate issues, no additional taxes due and the worries of that part of my future were erased. Thank you, Brian and Shelley. I highly recommend the Law Office of Brian C Perlin to everyone. Plan now, act now, and let the best professionals in the business help you to do it right.

My wife and I have been highly satisfied with the work of Mr.Perlin and his staff since our first interactions with them in 2007 and 2013. Now, more recently, in the Fall of 2020, we can say that we have been more than satisfied, actually amazed, by the quality, value and professional work with a more complicated project. We highly recommend them!

Office is quickly responsive to calls. Personnel are courteous and helpful. Mr. Perlin is always accessible in reasonable periods of time. He listens carefully to our questions and created and later added to a will and trust that exactly met our needs. I would recommend this office to anyone needing their services.

When I wanted to update my trust and estate documents, my daughter knew just the right person, Someone she had met who made her trust him implicitly. She believed in his honesty, kindness and integrity, and she was right. He and his entire staff handled the updating of my documents with speed, professionalism and friendliness. I had a wonderful experience from beginning to end. I cannot recommend him enough.

My family, extended family and I have entrusted our estate affairs with Brian and his staff for nearly 30 years. Their professionalism, guidance and legal expertise over the years has never waivered or diminished. We've also recently been introduced to Brian's Associate, Shelley Booken, who equally has served our families in the same fashion. Despite my relocating to Central Florida in 2006, he continues to provide quality service, consultation, and recommendations to our entire family, both locally and out of state. The Law Office of Brian C. Perlin , P.A. come highly recommended.

Brian and his team provided the highest in professional services. They were always very responsive and very patient with my estate planning requests.
The time Brian spent with me and my wife was very valuable. Based on his questions and feedback, I could tell that he truly knows his business and has a passion for what he does.

I would highly recommend Brain Perlin for estate planning.

Attorney Perlin is extremely knowledgeable in the areas of estate planning and trust. It had been 8 years since Attorney Perlin set up my original trust, so I went back to him to update my trust agreement because there had been major changes in estate laws over the years. For an average person to try to understand the language used in the trust agreement can be an intimidating experience, but Attorney Perlin patiently spent his valuable time answering all my concerns and inquiries. His office staff are all well trained and well coordinated so they demonstrated an efficient teamwork. I would highly
