What Is Estate Planning?
Estate planning is more than just drafting a will; it’s a comprehensive strategy to manage your assets during your lifetime and distribute them according to your wishes after your passing. By planning proactively, you can avoid disputes, minimize taxes, and ensure your legacy is handled precisely as you intend.
Without proper planning, your estate could face costly and lengthy probate processes, leaving loved ones with unnecessary stress. Our team ensures your estate plan is thorough, legally sound, and designed to protect your assets.

We take a personalized approach, ensuring each client’s unique needs are addressed precisely and carefully. At Coquina Law Group, we focus solely on estate planning and trust law—providing a depth of knowledge that ensures exceptional results.
Wills: The Foundation of Your Estate Plan
A will is one of the most essential documents you’ll ever create. It’s your opportunity to outline how you want your assets distributed, name guardians for minor children, and even specify your final wishes.
What Can Be Included in a Will?
- Instructions for distributing property and personal belongings.
- Charitable bequests or legacy donations.
- Special instructions for unique assets, such as firearms or collectibles.
Mistakes in will preparation—such as unclear language or failing to meet Florida’s legal requirements—can result in disputes or even invalidate your wishes. At Coquina Law Group, we ensure your will is thorough, legally binding, and precisely aligned with your goals.
Trusts: A Powerful Estate Planning Tool
Trusts are versatile and powerful tools that provide greater control over asset distribution and can help avoid probate. Whether you’re interested in a revocable trust (which you can modify during your lifetime) or an irrevocable trust for long-term planning, we can help you determine the best option for your estate.
Benefits of a Trust:
- Avoiding probate and saving time and money for your heirs.
- Privacy in asset distribution.
- Ensuring assets are used responsibly (e.g., for minors or beneficiaries with special needs)
At Coquina Law Group, we help clients establish trusts that align with their family’s unique needs, ensuring a smooth wealth transition.
Specialized Gun Trusts
A gun trust is a specialized estate planning tool designed for legally and securely transferring firearms, particularly those regulated by the National Firearms Act (NFA).
What Are the Benefits of a Gun Trust?
- Ensures compliance with state and federal firearm laws.
- Simplifies the transfer of firearms to heirs.
- Allows for shared ownership or use of NFA-regulated firearms.
A gun trust offers unparalleled peace of mind if you’re a gun owner. At Coquina Law Group, we’re experienced in helping firearm owners create trusts that protect their investments and comply with Florida law.
