The Charles Law Offices Law Firm Overview

At The Charles Law Offices in St. Petersburg, Florida, attorney Susan M. Charles provides individualized representation for probate, elder law, Medicaid planning, VA benefit planning and estate planning. She also works to educate people about the importance of planning ahead for themselves and their families. Susan received her Juris Doctor (J.D.) from Stetson University College of Law in 2004. In addition to her J.D., she has an advanced law degree (LL.M) in elder law, an accomplishment that very few lawyers have achieved.

Attorney Charles works closely with clients, taking the time to explain probate and all areas of estate planning in ways that are easy to understand. She can also help people plan for and qualify for Medicaid and VA benefits, regardless of income or assets.

A law firm serving clients in Florida and throughout the country with personal representation for estate administration and probate.

If you are the executor, administrator or personal representative for a loved one’s estate, you are facing a lengthy, complex task. In most cases, people benefit from working with a probate lawyer who can take care of probate for them. Our law firm will handle everything: gathering and liquidating assets, paying debts, distributing assets to heirs, filing taxes and preparing final reports.

If you live out of state and are a personal representative for an estate in Florida, you must have a probate attorney assist you. We can manage the entire probate process on your behalf. In fact, you likely will not have to appear in Florida to take care of probate matters. We will handle all legal and estate tax issues. Additionally, we will document all property and arrange to have it shipped or have it sold, according to your instructions. If you choose, we will also facilitate the sale of the home or condo.

Contact The Charles Law Offices for representation in probate and trust administration, Medicaid planning, estate planning, estate taxes and asset protection. Please call our Clearwater office today at 866-607-6531 for a free consultation.*

Articles

Probate
At The Charles Law Offices, we provide a wide range of probate services in Florida to meet the needs of local and out-of-state executors and personal representatives, heirs and beneficiaries.

Wills
A simple will allows you to name beneficiaries, specify who will inherit what and appoint a guardian for your minor children.

Trusts
Trusts, while initially more expensive, avoid the cost and the delays of the Florida probate process. There are many types of trusts to choose from and they are often an excellent choice for achieving specific goals.

Medicaid Planning
Susan Charles is an experienced Medicaid planning attorney. She has advised thousands of people in Pinellas County and the greater Tampa Bay area on the legal issues related to aging, incapacity and death.

Out-of-State Personal Representative
Because Florida is a prime retirement destination, it's quite common to find that there are no local family members to act as an executor or representative for a Florida estate.

When viewing a listing, consider the state advertising restrictions to which lawyers and law firms must adhere, as well as our West Legal Directory disclaimers. Some lawyers publish comparative information regarding the services that they provide which may be subject to specific comparative communications restrictions.
