Heidi Webb is a respectable attorney who represented me outstandingly well in my case. In my opinion, I highly recommend her for anyone who is looking for someone to represent them in any difficult and delicate case. She did an excellent job communicating with me and listening to my concerns. She represented me well and treated me and my family very fairly. She was very understanding and helped me get through some of my most difficult times. I love the fact that she advised me very well, explained every detail with my case, often asked about the well being of my children, and informed me with key details throughout the entire process of my case. With Heidi, I felt very comfortable knowing she was in my corner and had no concerns losing her as a professional and family friend. I am so happy on how we finally settled on my case and feel a huge sense of relief and happiness. Thank You Heidi

I used Heidi Webb to update my Revocable Trust, Will, and LLC after the passing of my wife. I can not say enough good things of her service. She was very attentive to my needs during a difficult time and offered very good advise on how I should have things updated. She is very knowledgeable in this area of law. She always took the time to listen and make recommendations based on my needs. She even took the time to meet with my son who is the executor of my will to explain everything that he would be responsible for after my passing which was important to me and my son. She made me feel very comfortable whenever we met and explained everything in language that I would understand. I would be remiss in not stating that her staff is outstanding and always followed up with my calls. I would highly recommend her and staff for all of your legal needs.

Can I Put a No-Contest Clause in my Will?

Short answer, you can, but it will not be enforceable in Florida.

No-contest clauses have been used in Wills for centuries and are used to keep beneficiaries from fighting over an estate. In layman’s terms, this language states that if a beneficiary contests the document’s validity and loses, that beneficiary receives nothing.

Even if your Estate Plan was drafted in another state and included this language, a no-contest clause is unenforceable in Florida. While Florida courts won’t enforce a no-contest clause in a Will or trust, there may be other ways to minimize – although not eliminate – the possibility of litigation. Therefore, I recommend discussing this issue with your Estate Planning Attorney on your specific situation to draft up a plan to meet your individual needs.
