JACKSONVILLE, FL / August 14, 2018 – The Law Office of Katherine Schnauss Naugle, P.L. is pleased to announce they have been recognized by Super Lawyers for excellence in the practice of law for three years in a row.
The award winning, Jacksonville elder law firm assists clients in the legal areas of estate planning, guardianship, elder law, probate, wills and trusts. They work with clients to create estate planning that not only allows the client to pass on property according to the client’s wishes, but also minimizes the tax burden for beneficiaries. They also represent beneficiaries of estates to safeguard interests during probate administration.
“A Will is a very important document to have and is always one of the documents I recommend that my clients have prepared,” explains attorney Katherine Schnauss Naugle. “However, it does not prevent probate. A Last Will and Testament dictates how your assets (that do not name beneficiaries) are transferred to your beneficiaries at the time of your death.”
Naugle continues, “It gives you control, within statutory guidelines as to who will be named as your Personal Representative, as well as who will be named as your beneficiaries. If you are married or have minor children there are certain parameters that you must stay within with regard to your homestead and assets. That can all be explained to you by an attorney who practices in the area of estate planning.”
The experienced attorneys at the Law office of Katherine Schnauss Naugle, P.L. also provide assistance with the guardianship process. They assist clients involved with guardianship with incapacity proceedings, appointment of guardian, preparation of annual accounting of the assets of the guardianship estate, and assistance with the discharge of the guardian at the end of the case upon the death of the ward, and in the event the ward regains capacity.
