Sawyer & Sawyer, P.A. helps Winter Park 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 Winter Park Families
Winter Park is an established city of about 30,000 people, and about 2 in 3 of its households live in a home they own.
When someone who created a trust passes away, the successor trustee they chose takes over, managing and distributing the trust’s assets under its terms. Trust assets generally avoid probate, so this is usually faster and more private than settling an estate in court. Even so, the trustee has real legal duties to the beneficiaries.
If you’ve been named a trustee, or you’re helping an aging parent plan ahead, we can guide you through it. Each of the six practice areas below has its own Winter Park page.
