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.

In a time of sadness & grief, I searched the area for an attorney who would work with me and my budget. After the first call with Mrs. Heidi, I knew that I had found someone who truly cared, who was understanding and patient with my circumstances. She knew that I did not know much about the probate court (I felt so lost and defeated) and she went over and above to explain it all to me and what was going to be happening in the upcoming months. Probate court is not something that happens quickly, my family & I were out of our home for months on end and Mrs. Heidi did everything she could to expedite the process of us moving back in. She provided us with all the information, communicated everything with us as she found out and made the (tough) process so smooth. She is super knowledgeable in her scope and works thoroughly on the documents needed. I am very very grateful my family and I chose Heidi and I strongly recommend anyone who needs Estate Planning to inquire with her.
Not to mention, everyone who works in her office and beside of her is equally as amazing as she is. Her office staff was simply dedicated, always pleasant, compassionate, and kindhearted. They made me feel like we've been friends forever. They communicated with me & sympathized with me, they treated me like a person they loved, not just another customer, and they truly cared about how I was doing despite what I was going through at the time. I applaud them and Mrs. Heidi tremendously for everything they have done for us.
There are not enough words that could show my true appreciation and thankfulness for this group of people and this office.

Instead of leaving your funeral wishes in your Will, communicate with your loved ones about what you want.

ASK HEIDI: Do I need to update my Will if I relocate to another state?

Q: I have recently retired and relocated to Florida, but my Will was drafted and executed in another state. Do I need to update my documents?

This is a good question and one I often answer in my practice. Most people who establish Wills understand these documents should be updated after significant life changes such as getting married, having kids, or filing for divorce but not everyone considers tweaking their Wills after they relocate to another state, and they should.

Most Estate Plans retain their validity across state lines, however, there are occasions when adjustments are called for because of unique state laws pertaining to Estate Planning documents such as Wills, Trusts, Power of Attorneys, and Health Care Surrogate/Advance Medical Directives. The most common things I see are Powers of Attorney that don’t comport with Florida law, Trusts lacking the necessary language for the Homestead Exemption, specific bequests in Wills that no longer exist or Personal Representatives that are not qualified in Florida.

Those are just a few examples, there are many more. I always recommend that you find a new Estate Planning Attorney in your new state of residence to review your current documents to check they are still valid and make changes where needed.
