Estate Planning Attorneys Serving Florida
Lomba, P.A., licensed South Florida attorney helping clients with wills, trusts, and estate planning. Call today for a free consultation.
Estate planning is not about paperwork. It is about control.
Without a clear plan in place, Florida law decides what happens to your assets, who manages your affairs, and how disputes are resolved. That often means delays, unnecessary taxes, court involvement, and family conflict at the worst possible time.
At Lomba P.A., we help individuals and families across Florida create estate plans that protect assets, preserve privacy, and provide certainty. Our approach is practical, strategic, and built around how your assets and family actually function.
When Estate Planning Becomes Urgent
Many clients reach out after something changes. Others wait until a problem appears.
Common triggers include:
Acquiring significant assets or property
Marriage, divorce, or blended family concerns
Business ownership or real estate investments
Concerns about lawsuits or creditor exposure
Aging parents or health changes
A death in the family that revealed planning gaps
Estate planning works best when done proactively, before legal or financial pressure limits your options.
What a Proper Estate Plan Accomplishes
A well-structured estate plan does more than transfer assets. It creates clarity and reduces risk.
Our estate plans are designed to:
Control how and when assets are distributed
Minimize probate delays and court involvement
Reduce estate and income tax exposure where possible
Protect beneficiaries from disputes, creditors, or mismanagement
Ensure trusted decision-makers are legally empowered
Every plan is tailored. No templates. No shortcuts.
Wills and Trust-Based Planning
We advise clients on whether a will alone is sufficient or whether a trust-based plan is more appropriate.
Our services include:
Last wills and testaments
Revocable living trusts
Irrevocable trusts
Trust restatements and amendments
Beneficiary coordination and funding guidance
Trusts are often used to maintain privacy, avoid probate, and provide structured asset management, especially for families with real estate, business interests, or complex distributions.
Advanced Trust and Asset Protection Planning
For clients with significant assets or future liability concerns, estate planning must account for risk.
We integrate estate planning with asset protection strategies, including:
Spousal Lifetime Access Trusts (SLATs)
Charitable Lead Trusts
Charitable Remainder Trusts
Long-term wealth transfer structures
These tools are carefully designed to preserve control while protecting assets from unnecessary exposure.
Powers of Attorney and Incapacity Planning
Estate planning is not only about death. It is also about incapacity.
We prepare documents that allow trusted individuals to act on your behalf if you are unable to do so, including:
Durable powers of attorney
Health care surrogate designations
Living wills and advance directives
Without these documents, families often face court proceedings just to manage basic financial or medical decisions.
Avoiding Probate and Reducing Conflict
Probate can be time-consuming, expensive, and public.
When appropriate, our estate plans focus on minimizing or avoiding probate altogether. Clear planning also reduces the likelihood of disputes among beneficiaries, challenges to documents, or confusion about intent.
The goal is a plan that works when it is needed most.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
Yes. Estate planning is not only about wealth. It is about control and reducing stress for your family. A plan can name decision-makers, avoid unnecessary court involvement, and prevent confusion about who inherits what.
-
If you die without a will, Florida’s intestacy laws determine who receives your assets. That can create outcomes you did not intend, delays, and increased potential for conflict among family members.
-
A will directs how assets are distributed at death and typically requires probate. A trust can allow assets to pass privately and often with less court involvement, while also providing structure for how and when beneficiaries receive assets.
-
You should review your plan after major life events such as marriage, divorce, a new child, a move to Florida, a significant change in assets, or the death of a beneficiary or decision-maker. Even without major changes, periodic reviews help keep documents aligned with current law and your intent.
-
Many estate plans include a will and/or trust, durable power of attorney, health care surrogate designation, and living will or advance directive. These documents address both end-of-life planning and incapacity planning.
-
A power of attorney authorizes someone you trust to handle financial and legal matters if you cannot. Without it, your family may need court involvement to manage banking, bills, property, or other urgent responsibilities.
-
We start with a consultation to understand your family situation, assets, goals, and risk concerns. From there, we recommend a plan, draft the documents, and guide you through signing and next steps so your plan is ready to work when it is needed.
