Michelle A. Quintana Gomez leads the firm’s estate planning work, helping individuals and families throughout Miami create thoughtful legal plans that protect their assets and provide clarity for the future.
She works closely with clients to design wills, trusts, powers of attorney, and other estate planning documents tailored to their specific goals and family circumstances.
Without a proper estate plan, Florida law decides how your assets are distributed. This can lead to unnecessary probate delays, family disputes, and financial complications.
A properly structured estate plan ensures your wishes are followed while protecting your loved ones from unnecessary legal stress.

Estate planning in Florida involves state-specific rules around wills, trusts, probate, homestead property, and incapacity planning. A plan that looks simple on the surface can create major issues if it does not comply with Florida law.
Florida has specific signing and witness requirements that must be followed for a will to be valid.
Establish revocable or irrevocable trusts to protect assets and help your family avoid probate.
Ensure someone you trust can make financial or legal decisions if you become unable to do so.
Put medical decision instructions in place so your wishes are respected in critical moments.
Families looking for a Miami estate planning lawyer want more than documents. They want clarity, practical recommendations, and confidence that the plan actually fits their lives.

Do I need a will or a trust in Florida?
It depends on your assets, family situation, and goals. A will names beneficiaries and goes through probate, while a trust can help avoid probate and offer more control. We help you determine which option — or combination — best fits your needs.
How much does estate planning cost?
Costs vary depending on the complexity of your plan. We provide clear, upfront pricing after your free consultation so you know exactly what to expect before committing.
Can estate planning help avoid probate?
Yes. Certain tools like revocable living trusts, beneficiary designations, and joint ownership structures can help your assets transfer outside of probate, saving time and expense for your family.
What documents should every Florida resident have?
At a minimum, most Florida residents should have a last will and testament, a durable power of attorney, a healthcare surrogate designation, and a living will (advance directive).
How often should an estate plan be updated?
You should review your estate plan every 3 to 5 years, or whenever a major life event occurs — such as marriage, divorce, the birth of a child, a significant change in assets, or a move to a new state.
