Frequently asked questions
What does an estate planning attorney do?
An estate planning attorney helps you create a legal plan that protects your assets, outlines your wishes, and ensures your family is taken care of. This may include wills, trusts, powers of attorney, and healthcare directives tailored to your specific situation.
Do I need an estate plan if I don’t have significant assets?
Yes. Estate planning is not just about wealth — it is about control, clarity, and protecting your loved ones. Even simple plans can prevent confusion, delays, and unnecessary legal complications.
What is the difference between a will and a trust?
A will outlines how your assets should be distributed after your passing and typically goes through probate. A trust can allow assets to pass outside of probate and provides more control, privacy, and flexibility depending on how it is structured.
Can I work with your firm if I am not located near your office?
Yes. The Law Office of Jessica Lynn Silva works with clients throughout Florida. Many matters can be handled through a streamlined, remote process, allowing you to receive personalized legal guidance without needing to be physically near an office.
How long does the probate process take in Florida?
The timeline can vary depending on the complexity of the estate, but probate can take several months to over a year. Having proper legal guidance can help ensure the process is handled efficiently and correctly.
What is a Lady Bird Deed and how does it work?
A Lady Bird Deed is a Florida-specific estate planning tool that allows real estate to transfer automatically upon death without going through probate, while allowing you to retain full control of the property during your lifetime.
When should I update my estate plan?
You should review your estate plan after major life changes such as marriage, divorce, the birth of a child, acquiring significant assets, or changes in financial or family circumstances.
What can I expect during a consultation?
Your consultation is a focused, one-on-one discussion designed to understand your goals, review your situation, and provide clear recommendations for next steps. This is a strategic conversation — not a one-size-fits-all approach.
