Why This Matters
Life happens fast. You start a family, buy a home, inherit property, start a business — and suddenly you have real assets, real responsibilities, and real people who depend on you. The question isn't whether you need an estate plan. It's whether you have one that actually reflects your life.
At Kristen Weiss Legal, we work with South Florida families to make estate planning feel less overwhelming and more empowering. We explain everything in plain language, structure your plan around your actual goals and family dynamics, and make sure you leave knowing that everything is handled.
And when loss does happen, we're here to guide you through the probate process with the same care and clarity — so the legal side of grieving doesn't add to the weight of it.
When Life Brings You to Us
Having a child is the most important reason to have an estate plan. It means naming a guardian for your child if something happens to both parents. It means making sure your assets go where you intend. It means your child is provided for — not left to the courts to figure out.
Real estate is often the most valuable asset a family owns — and it deserves to be properly accounted for in your estate plan. Whether you're buying a home, a vacation property, or an investment property in Florida, we make sure it's handled correctly.
Blended families come with a complexity that standard estate planning doesn't always address. Whose children get what? How do you protect a spouse while ensuring children from a prior relationship are provided for? These questions have answers — we help you find yours.
The moment you start a business, your legal needs expand. You need both a solid business structure and an estate plan that accounts for your business ownership — what happens to it if something happens to you.
For established families with real assets — real estate, investments, retirement accounts, business interests — thoughtful estate planning ensures those assets transfer efficiently, with minimal friction and maximum control over what goes where.
When a loved one passes away, we're here to guide your family through the probate and trust administration process — clearly, efficiently, and with genuine care for what you're going through.
What We Handle for Families
Revocable living trusts, wills, powers of attorney, healthcare surrogates, and advance directives — a complete estate plan tailored to your family's specific needs and goals.
Formal administration, summary administration, and trust administration for uncontested estates throughout Florida — handled with efficiency and care.
Life changes — and your estate plan should reflect it. We help families review and update their existing plans after major life events to ensure everything is still current and correctly structured.
How It Works
We talk through your family structure, your assets, and your goals. You leave with a clear understanding of what your plan needs to include and what the process looks like.
We draft your customized documents, walk you through each one, and answer every question — without rushing you through decisions that genuinely matter for your family.
We execute your documents correctly (Florida has specific signing requirements) and help you fund your trust — so your plan works exactly the way it's supposed to.
