Sawyer & Sawyer, P.A. helps Ocoee 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 Ocoee Families
Ocoee is a growing city in western Orange County, home to about 49,000 people. More than 7 in 10 Ocoee households own their home.
The basics of an estate plan are a will, powers of attorney and health care documents. In Florida, though, a will alone doesn’t avoid probate. A revocable living trust, a Lady Bird deed for a home, or a named beneficiary on an account can pass assets to the people you choose without going through the court.
We help Ocoee families put the basics in place and choose the way to avoid probate that fits them. The six practice areas below explain how each one works.
