Estate Planning Team Helps Clients Plan For The Future
Death isn’t something that just happens to the wealthy. For that reason, everyone – regardless of financial status – should have an estate plan to ensure their assets and wishes are protected during and after their lifetime.
Bernard A. Jackvony, of counsel with Pannone Lopes Devereaux & O’Gara LLC, has been helping people for more than 25 years with matters relating to trust and estate planning and litigation.
“Doing the proper planning, no matter how much you have or don’t have, gives you peace of mind that your intentions will be carried out,” says Jackvony.
With offices in Boca Raton as well as Rhode Island and Massachusetts, Pannone Lopes Devereaux & O’Gara is a full-service law firm with 35 lawyers.
Jackvony, who works in the Boca Raton office with other prominent estate attorneys Gene M. Carlino and Jason S. Palmisano, often deals with clients who either live in Florida full- or part-time or who have relatives living here. They understand that, when clients seek their help, they are dealing not only with legal but sometimes emotional issues, ranging from incapacitation and incompetence to the death of a family member.
“By providing proper guidance and planning, we can protect your assets and help to avoid the financial, emotional and sometimes family destruction that can come from litigation after someone passes away,” says Jackvony. “Will and trust contests are common, particularly in South Florida, but you can do pre-emptive work to eliminate that.”
Setting up a plan is just the first step. Keeping your attorney up to date with any changes that may occur in your life is just as important, notes Jackvony. Divorce, the birth of a child and the death of a loved one are just some of the reasons you may need to revisit your existing plan.
“Preparing an estate plan is an essential part of life that protects you and your loved ones and gives you peace of mind now and into the future,” says Jackvony.
