A Few of the Reasons For Updating Your Documents:

1.  To give to charities, grandchildren, or non-heirs.

2.  A change in a beneficiary's circumstances.

3.  A possible problem with an heir or heir's spouse, such as gambling, substance addiction, special needs, and abuse.

4.  Your Will's Executor or Personal Representative is not a Florida resident, is not a blood relative or a spouse of a blood relative, and is not a Florida licensed trust company.

5.  Your Will or Trust does not preserve your Florida homestead for distribution to your descendants.

6.  Your current Will lacks a Self-Proving Affidavit or you are not sure of the location of your original documents and witnesses thereto.

A Fully Funded, Revocable Trust Makes It Possible To:

1.  Protect privacy and reduce delay and expense caused by probate here and eliminate ancillary probate in other states where you own real property by creating a trust and funding it before death.

2.  Avoid or delay the need for a financial guardian of a minor child, special needs person, or yourself if mentally incapacitated.

3.  Protect beneficiaries' interests by way of discretionary and spendthrift provisions (e.g. divorce and other creditors).



Hi, I'm Attorney Timothy Ryan.  Thank you for visiting my web site.  I look forward to speaking with you.

Major Features of My Practice:

1.  I am an attorney at law, admitted to practice in Florida, who offers a free fifteen minute telephone consultation.  Your contact is directly with me.

2.  I will meet with you to plan and to execute documents in the convenience of your home.  In some simple situations we can develop your plan over the telephone.  Documents can be completed within a week in most cases.

3.  I will meet with you at a time that fits your schedule so you needn't miss work or appointments.

4.  I will email you drafts of your documents so you will have plenty of time to review them.

5.  I can draft a Revocable Trust and explain how to fund it to provide a more prompt, smooth, private, and less expensive transfer or control of your assets following your death or upon your becoming incapacitated.

6.  I charge set amounts for simple documents and some modifications to them.  In more complicated planning I charge based on a reasonable hourly fee.

7.  I am available to answer a reasonable number of questions following the signing.​​
