Helping Individuals and Families Protect What Matters Most
Estate planning is about more than deciding who receives your assets after you pass away. A well-designed estate plan can help protect your loved ones, preserve your wishes, minimize conflict, and provide peace of mind for you and your family.
At CERV LAW PLLC, Attorney Chris Cervellera helps individuals, families, business owners, professionals, and retirees create customized estate plans designed to address their unique circumstances and goals. Whether you are creating your first estate plan, updating existing documents, or planning for future generations, we provide practical guidance to help you make informed decisions.
No two families are alike, and no two estate plans should be either.
Wills
A Last Will and Testament allows you to direct how your assets should be distributed upon your death, nominate guardians for minor children, and identify the person responsible for administering your estate.
Attorney Chris Cervellera assists clients with:
- Simple Wills
- Complex Wills
- Wills for Parents with Minor Children
- Business Owner Estate Planning
- Will Revisions and Updates
- Estate Administration Planning
Without a valid will, Florida law—not you—determines how certain assets are distributed.
Revocable Living Trusts
For many individuals and families, a revocable living trust can provide flexibility, privacy, and probate avoidance benefits.
CERV LAW assists clients with:
- Revocable Living Trusts
- Trust Funding Guidance
- Trust Amendments
- Trust Restatements
- Successor Trustee Planning
- Family Trust Planning
Trusts can be valuable tools for managing assets during life and facilitating the transfer of assets after death.
Powers of Attorney
Unexpected illness, injury, or incapacity can occur at any time. A properly drafted Durable Power of Attorney allows a trusted individual to manage financial and legal matters if you become unable to do so.
Attorney Chris Cervellera prepares:
- Durable Powers of Attorney
- Limited Powers of Attorney
- Real Estate Powers of Attorney
- Business Powers of Attorney
- Financial Management Authorizations
These documents can help avoid unnecessary court involvement and ensure continuity during periods of incapacity.
Health Care Planning Documents
Every adult should have basic health care planning documents in place.
CERV LAW assists clients with:
- Designation of Health Care Surrogate
- Living Wills
- Advance Directives
- HIPAA Authorizations
- Health Care Planning Documents
These documents help ensure that your wishes are known and that trusted individuals can assist with important medical decisions when needed.
Estate Planning for Business Owners
Business owners often have unique planning needs that extend beyond traditional estate planning.
Attorney Chris Cervellera assists business owners with:
- Business Succession Planning
- Buy-Sell Planning
- Ownership Transition Strategies
- Coordination of Business and Personal Estate Plans
- Asset Protection Considerations
- Family Business Planning
Proper planning can help protect both your family and your business from unnecessary complications in the future.
Estate Plan Reviews & Updates
Many people create estate planning documents and never revisit them. However, major life events often require updates.
You should consider reviewing your estate plan following:
- Marriage
- Divorce
- Birth or Adoption of Children
- Death of a Beneficiary or Fiduciary
- Significant Changes in Assets
- Retirement
- Business Ownership Changes
- Relocation to Florida
Regular reviews help ensure that your documents continue to reflect your wishes and current circumstances.
