With over 50 years of experience assisting individuals and families throughout Palm Beach County and Broward County, Mr. Kaczmarek provides comprehensive Florida estate planning services designed to protect your assets, minimize potential estate and inheritance tax burdens, avoid the Florida probate process, and ensure your wishes are carried out exactly as intended.

Whether you need a straightforward last will and testament, a comprehensive revocable living trust, an irrevocable trust for asset protection, or experienced guidance through the Florida probate process, Mr. Kaczmarek brings a thoughtful, client-centered approach to every estate planning matter in Boca Raton, Delray Beach, West Palm Beach, and the surrounding South Florida communities.

Trusts & Probate

A properly structured revocable living trust can help your estate avoid Florida probate entirely — a court-supervised process that can take six months to over a year, involve significant court fees and attorney costs, and become part of the public record. Trust-based estate plans offer greater privacy, faster distribution of assets to your beneficiaries, and seamless management of your affairs if you become incapacitated.

Mr. Kaczmarek works with clients in Boca Raton and throughout Palm Beach County to determine whether a trust-based estate plan, a will-based plan, or a combination of both is appropriate for their family circumstances, asset profile, and long-term goals. For those who have already lost a loved one, he also provides experienced guidance through the Florida probate process — including summary administration and formal administration — helping personal representatives fulfill their statutory duties and distributing assets according to the decedent's wishes or Florida intestacy law.

Advance Directives

Advance directives, including durable powers of attorney and healthcare surrogate designations, are important components of a comprehensive estate plan. These documents ensure that your affairs can be managed by someone you trust if you become incapacitated.
