Sawyer & Sawyer, P.A. helps Orange County 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 Orange County Families
Nearly 1.5 million people live in Orange County. Orlando, where our office is, is the county seat, and the county also takes in cities such as Winter Park, Winter Garden and Ocoee, the town of Windermere, and unincorporated communities such as Horizon West. About 57% of the county’s households own their home.
Wherever you live in the county, an estate plan covers more than who inherits your property. It also names who can make financial and medical decisions for you if you’re unable to, and who will settle your estate.
We help families across the county with all six practice areas below. You’ll also find a page for each Orange County community we serve.
