Plan For Your Family’s Future
Estate planning isn’t limited to writing a last will and testament to state who gets the furniture and who gets the house. Planning your estate is a way of addressing potential lifetime issues such as disability and structuring disposition of assets after death to address both tax and non-tax issues and contingencies.
Dariotis Law is a Tallahassee, Florida, law office that drafts estate planning documents such as wills, trusts, durable powers of attorney, and living will documents that are designed to meet a client’s needs and goals. Many clients are concerned about various “what ifs” during life and after death, but when we help implement a plan, they find they have a sense of peace of mind.
Our attorney is board-certified by The Florida Bar as a specialist in wills, trusts and estates law.
Our Experienced Attorney Can Personalize Your Estate Plan

We help people with issues such as:
- Wills

Not everyone wants or needs a complex estate plan. Many people need no more than a simple will, a durable power of attorney, and an advance health directive. Some clients are interested in creating a revocable trust.
Understanding Trusts And Whether They’re Right For You
A trust is a way of providing control of property by a trustee for the use and benefit of a beneficiary. A testamentary trust is a trust that is contained in a person’s will and goes into effect at the person’s death. The will names a trustee who will take control over certain assets and distribute them over time to the designated beneficiaries.
There are also trusts that go into effect during a person’s lifetime usually known as “living trusts” or “revocable trusts.” Revocable trusts are not for everyone. We talk with our clients about their options so that they can decide whether a trust fits their needs. Learn more about the differences between wills and trusts and the impacts they can have on your estate plan.
