Practice Areas

Elder law consists of several areas of practice including the Florida Probate Administration (Formal, Summary, and Ancillary) of an estate; Guardianship of an incapacitated person or minor; Trust and Estate Planning (Wills and Trusts; and Advance Directives such as Powers of Attorney, Health Care Surrogates, Living Wills, and Pre-need Guardianship Declarations), and Medicaid Planning. Contact Slonim Law today for all of your Melbourne, Florida Estate Planning needs.

Trust & Estate Planning

You don’t need an “estate” to have an estate plan. The attorneys at Slonim Law prefer to think of it as LIFE planning, as it’s more important to have a plan in place if you or a loved one is incapacitated. This time in a person’s life is not the time to start figuring out who can pay the bills, file or defend a lawsuit, or a variety of other daily legal, financial, and medical factors. Have the estate planning lawyers create a Durable Power of Attorney, Health Care Surrogate, Living Will, and Pre-Need Guardianship Declaration when you don’t need them, so your loved won’t stress when you need them most. Contact our attorneys in Melbourne, Florida today for all your estate planning needs!

Probate Attorneys

Probate is a court-supervised process for identifying and gathering the decedent’s assets, paying taxes, claims, and expenses, and distributing assets to beneficiaries. The probate attorneys at Slonim Law turn probate administration into a process you can understand. Probate is simply the process of following the instructions set forth in the Florida Statutes; if there’s no Last Will and Testament, or if there is a Will, then the instructions set forth in the Will. The three typical types of administration are Formal, Summary, and Ancillary.

Medicaid Planning Attorneys

Through Medicaid planning, the attorneys at Slonim Law can assist families in addressing the needs of long-term care. Unfortunately, many nursing home residents end up exhausting their assets on long-term care. But it doesn’t have to be that way. Whether it’s crisis planning or creating an exhaustive “what if” plan and executing it, you can rest easy knowing the assets you or your loved ones have worked their whole lives for can be properly safeguarded. Contact us today for Medicaid planning in Melbourne, Florida.

Guardianship Attorney

A guardian is someone appointed by the court to oversee and manage a person’s legal, financial, and/or medical affairs. A guardian is usually appointed because the Ward is incapable of managing themselves, either through incapacity or age (minors). Remember, this removes a person’s Constitutional Rights. It is the MOST restrictive means possible of caring for someone. Contact the guardianship attorneys at Slonim Law in Melbourne, Florida to learn more.

Digital Estate Management

Dealing with a loved one’s physical assets after death is hard enough, but then having to manage the closure or change of that person’s Facebook, Netflix, Amazon, Twitter, and other accounts can only add to the stress of the process. We can help our clients close such accounts and ensure that the deceased’s data is safely removed from the online world, thereby preventing unwanted identity theft or other malicious actions.
