What is estate planning in Florida?

Estate planning in Florida is the process of creating a coordinated legal strategy to protect your family, manage assets during incapacity, avoid unnecessary court involvement, and ensure your wishes are carried out. Effective planning requires understanding Florida law, family dynamics, and long-term goals — not just filling out documents.

Many Florida families believe estate planning is about drafting a will. In reality, it’s about making thoughtful legal decisions before a crisis occurs.

Attorney Sonia Muñoz Gallagher helps families identify risks, understand their options, and design estate plans that protect children, preserve assets, and avoid unnecessary court involvement.

This process begins with strategy, not paperwork.
