About Us
Why Estate Planning Matters
Estate planning isn’t just about writing a will — it’s about making your wishes known, protecting your assets, and reducing stress for your loved ones during difficult times. Without a proper plan in place, the state of Florida decides how your estate is handled, which can lead to confusion, conflict, and costly legal proceedings.
At The Law Office of Jed A. Stabler, P.A., we believe estate planning is one of the most important steps you can take for your family’s future. Even if you don’t think you have a “large estate,” you still have the power to protect what you’ve built, support the people you care about, and ensure your voice is heard. A well-crafted estate plan gives you control over:
- Who receives your assets, and when
- Who will care for your minor children
- Who will make decisions for you if you're incapacitated
- How to minimize or avoid probate
- How to reduce or eliminate estate taxes

Frequently Asked Questions
-
What is the difference between a trust and estate planning?
Estate planning is the overall process of organizing how your assets will be managed during your lifetime and after death. A trust is just one tool used within that process; it allows you to transfer assets directly to beneficiaries while avoiding probate. Trusts are a key part of many estate plans, but not always required.
-
When should I hire an estate planning attorney?
You should consult an estate planning attorney if you own property, have minor children, are concerned about probate, or want control over who receives your assets. It’s also essential when facing major life changes like marriage, divorce, retirement, or health concerns.
-
What does an estate planning attorney in West Palm Beach do?
A West Palm Beach estate planning attorney helps you draft wills, create trusts, designate powers of attorney, and structure your estate to avoid probate and reduce taxes — all while complying with Florida law. They also assist in updating plans over time as your needs change.
-
Why choose a local estate planning attorney instead of an online service?
Online services can’t provide legal advice or account for Florida-specific laws. A local attorney ensures your plan is legally valid, up-to-date, and tailored to your specific goals and family structure, with ongoing support whenever life changes.
