Sawyer & Sawyer, P.A. helps Horizon West families plan for the future and handle the legal side of life’s hardest moments, from writing a first will to settling a parent’s estate. We’re a family-owned firm that has served Central Florida since 1994.
Planning for Horizon West Families
Horizon West is one of Orange County’s fastest-growing areas. About 67,000 people live in this unincorporated community, and about 66% of its households are homeowners.
Estate planning covers more than wills and guardians for minor children. When a child turns 18, the law treats them as an adult, and parents can no longer see their medical records or make financial decisions for them without written authorization. A durable power of attorney, a health care surrogate designation and a HIPAA release fill that gap.
We help Horizon West families with first wills, guardian designations and documents for young adults, along with the other topics below, from special needs planning to Medicaid.
