The top 10 reasons I highly recommend Mr. Phillip William Gunthert, Esq. Mr. Gunthert went above and beyond what was required to make sure my Florida Probates'; i’s were dotted and t’s were crossed, which is very important in Florida. Mr. Gunthert took the time to thoroughly explain all my options. Then he asked the pertinent questions he needed answered to provide what he considered would be the best option for my situation. With a thorough explanation on why he felt that way, I was very confident in his suggestion. The truth is, while Mr. Gunthert’s suggestion was great for my situation, it was not the best option for his bottom line. But I don’t think that mattered. It seemed Mr. Gunthert was more concerned with my welfare than his own. I am not saying Mr. Gunthert works for free, he would go out of business. What I contend is that he will always; always; suggest what is in the best interest of his client. That is how all businesses should be. But this is so rare nowadays, I am overwhelmed with gratitude. In my book, you will not find any better representation than Mr. Phillip William Gunthert, Esq.

Q. How to change beneficiary and executor in a revocable trust in Florida?
A: Depending on how old your trust is and how substantial the changes the changes are that you need will determine whether a restatement of trust or amendment of trust will be necessary, you will have to work with a Florida Estate Planning Attorney.

Generally, the restatement of a trust will completely replace the original trust document with a new one and an amendment of the trust will only modify specific provisions of your existing trust documents. You normally would us the restatement of the trust when substantial and significant changes are needed and or necessary or if the trsut you have is substantially outdated. On the other hand, the amendment of trust can be used and is most useful when relatively minor changes and updates need to be made to your trust documents.

I would further add, based on the time that has passed, you may want to look at and review and possibly update your Will, Living Will, Power of Attorney, Florida Healthcare Surrogate, HIPAA Waivers, Nomination of Guardian and so forth if needed and necessary.

A: Medical bills cannot be attached to a property held as tenants by entireties if debt is only against one spouse and if it is Homestead there is no way to attach to such a home either as it is protected, if death occurs, the property is also protected in Probate.
Q. How can I resolve deed discrepancies and transfer property after inheriting from deceased relatives in Florida?
A: You may be required to pursue probates, If a deed transfer is invalid for any reason it could result in a defective title and lead to questionable or unclear ownership and the property cannot be sold or insured and getting title insurance will be problematic. The result of this is that the transfer/s never legally passed legal title to anyone and therefore didn't legally pass ownership. A probate proceeding might be needed to in order to address these issues and clarify ownership and create clear title which will also ultimately who is the rightful owner. In addition, it is possible that a real estate attorney may be able to address the title issues, but I am of the opinion probate will be necessary if invalid deeds were created and transfer of ownership failed. ...
