As summer descends upon South Florida, we’re all getting ready for some fun in the sun. Whether it’s a day of fishing or riding out to a sandbar, chances are everyone will be spending some time on a boat this summer. In addition to knowing where your life jacket is, you should also have a proper estate plan in place, to keep your loved ones afloat in the event of an accident.

Last year in Florida, 62 people died in boating accidents, with another 420 injured.¹ While these numbers might seem low when you consider the number of registered watercrafts in Florida, the price you pay if you are one of the unfortunate victims will be quite high. If you haven’t done the proper estate planning, you may find yourself at risk of losing everything, or leaving your family in a dire financial position. By taking full advantage of our estate planning services, you can kick back and relax this summer.

At Wild Felice & Partners, P.A., our services include living trusts and wills, as well as living wills, durable powers of attorney, and designation of a healthcare surrogate, which allow us to ensure that you and your family are protected, whatever summer brings. Whether you are injured or worse on the water or find yourself involved in a legal battle following a boating accident, the right estate plan and asset protection will keep you, your family, and your assets in the best possible position, even in the worst situations. You don’t always know what is going to happen, but with proper estate planning, you can get some sun and enjoy the water knowing that you have prepared for even the worst situations.
