Estate Planning Services in Orlando, FL
If you want your family protected and your wishes clear, now is the time to plan. We make estate planning simple and calm.
Signs It's Time For Estate Planning Services in Orlando
Life changes fast. A new baby, a home purchase near Lake Nona, or a health scare means you should update your plan. We've seen families in Winter Park and Pine Hills alike wait too long, then scramble during a crisis. That's when mistakes happen. Estate planning covers wills, trusts, and healthcare directives.[1] It works best before an emergency happens. If you don't have a plan or yours is over five years old, talk to someone about it. We offer flexible consultation options, including virtual and in-hospital visits, because we know life doesn't always slow down for paperwork.
Building A Will
You want clear instructions for your assets and your family. We help you write a will that holds up and makes sense.
Setting Up A Trust
A living trust can help your family avoid probate court. We explain how trusts work in plain language.
Planning For Incapacity
Powers of attorney and healthcare directives protect you if you can't speak for yourself. We put these in place before you need them.
Protecting A Business
Orlando business owners need a succession plan. We help map out what happens to your business if something happens to you.
Special Needs Family Members
A special needs trust lets you provide for a loved one without risking their benefits. We set this up carefully.
Reviewing An Old Plan
Marriage, divorce, or a move can make an old plan outdated. We review what you have and update what needs fixing.
Why Orlando Families Trust Our Estate Planning Services
Waiting to plan often costs families more later, in stress, in court time, and in money. We move quickly and explain every step so you're never confused. Attorney Fallon M. Gomez believes legal planning shouldn't feel scary, and that shapes how we work with every client.

How Our Estate Planning Services Work

We draft your will, trust, or other documents based on that conversation. You review everything before it's final, and we answer every question.

Estate Planning Services Cost in Orlando
The cost of your plan depends on what you need. Something simple will costs less than a full trust package with powers of attorney and healthcare directives. Business succession plans or special needs trusts take more time, so they cost more. We quote a clear price before we start, so you're never surprised by a bill. Many Central Florida families are surprised how affordable a solid plan can be. Probate costs their heirs much more later.
Estate Planning Services Questions
Here are answers to what Orlando families ask us most.
-
How much does estate planning cost in Orlando?
It depends on what you need, usually between $400 and $3,500 or more. A basic one will costs less than a full trust plan. We give you a clear quote before any work starts.
-
How long does it take to set up a plan?
Most simple plans are ready within one to two weeks. More complex trusts or business succession plans can take a few weeks longer. We move as fast as your situation allows.
-
Can I write my own will instead of hiring a lawyer?
You can, but mistakes in a homemade will can cause real problems later. Florida has specific signing and witness rules. A small error can send your estate through probate court anyway.
-
How often should I update my estate plan?
We suggest reviewing your plan every three to five years, or sooner after big life changes. Marriage, divorce, a new child, or a move all matter. Plans made years ago often no longer fit your life.
-
Do I need to plan now if I'm healthy?
Yes, because plans work best when made before a crisis. Accidents and sudden illness don't wait for a good time. Getting a plan in place now protects your family later.
-
What are signs I need to update my plan?
Watch for a new marriage, a divorce, a new grandchild, or a move to a new home. Buying property, starting a business, or a health diagnosis are also good reasons to review. Old plans can miss these changes.
-
Can estate planning help avoid probate court?
Yes, a properly funded living trust can help your family skip probate entirely. This saves time and money for your heirs. We'll walk you through whether a trust makes sense for your situation.
