Sawyer & Sawyer, P.A. helps Windermere 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 Windermere Families
Windermere is a small Orange County town on the Butler Chain of Lakes, with about 3,000 residents. More than 9 in 10 of its households own their home.
A revocable living trust can keep a home out of probate, but only once the trust is funded. Funding means retitling the deed and accounts in the trust’s name. If that step is skipped, those assets can still go through probate, whatever the trust document says.
We can help you set up and fund a trust, and with every other part of planning, from powers of attorney to Medicaid. Choose one of the six topics below to see how each works for Windermere families.
