JUSTICE SERVED

i have been extremely happy with your services and delighted to refer anyone I know to you.                                

HOW ATTORNEY HANKS CAN HELP YOU

Do you know what will happen to your property, in the event of your passing?  Do you have concerns that the State will take your property or tax your estate?  

Attorney Hanks will:

Answer these questions, and draft your Last Will and Testament, to assure your property only goes to those whom you want to inherit your estate, under the conditions that you wish to set.    

Advise you on whether your prospective estate would benefit from a separate, revocable trust or a testamentary trust provision included in your will.

Prepare an advance care directive for you, to assure that your medical decisions will be made by those you trust, in the event that you become incapacitated, or prepare a living will to assure that you will not be kept on life support if in a permanent vegetative state.

Draft a power of attorney, to give someone the authority to sign in your place, or notify the Court of your choice of a preneed guardian for you or your children.

And in the event of your loved one's passing. Attorney Hanks will:

Analyze and recommend the exact type of probate proceeding that will accomplish your goals: Formal Administration, Summary Administration, Ancillary Administration, or Disposition without Admnistration.

Recommend additional proceedings to protect the maximum of the estate's assets, from creditors.

Promptly prepare all necessary proceedings to being the probate process and to give you the authority to act on behalf of the estate, to access financial accounts and sell property.

Advance the adminstration so that the assets can get in the hands of your loved one's beneficiaries.

Attorney Hanks can represent you with only a portion of the fee due at the beginning.  The rest may be paid from the assets of the estate, when the estate pays your fee for being its representative.   

In these harsh economic times, a sudden job layoff can immediately lead to mounting bills and creditor harassment, pushing people to their limit on a nightly basis.  If the pressure of your debt is too much, bankruptcy might be the answer.   The filing of a bankruptcy petition will immediately stop all collection calls by your creditors, halt any creditor's lawsuits, and subject those creditors to damages if they continue.

As an attorney specifically licensed to practice in the United States Bankruptcy Court, Middle District of Florida, Attorney Hanks will:

Analyze your assets and debts and discuss whether bankruptcy is right for you, by explaining what you are able to protect in assets, and what debts you are able to have discharged.

Using up-to-date, specialized, analytical software, Attorney Hanks wil determine whether your income qualifies you for relief under Chapter 7 (Liquidation of all dischargeable debts).

With the documentation and information you provide, Attorney Hanks will carefully prepare your bankruptcy petition and schedules, in a manner so thorough the Bankruptcy should have no object to the discharge.

Attorney Hanks will provide you and your assets with the fullest protection under Florida's law, so you will not have to start over, once your unsecured debt has been eliminated.
