Fort Myers Estate Planning Attorney — Protect Your Legacy, Protect Your Family
Estate planning isn't just for the wealthy — it's for anyone who wants their assets distributed according to their wishes and their loved ones protected when they're gone. Without a proper plan in place, Florida law determines what happens to your estate — and it may not align with what you intended. Mummert Law helps Fort Myers residents build comprehensive estate plans that ensure their legacy is protected.

Why Choose Us!
Why Every Florida Adult Needs an Estate Plan
If you die without a will in Florida — known as dying 'intestate' — your estate is distributed according to state law. That may mean a spouse, children, or even distant relatives receive assets you intended for someone else. More importantly, without a healthcare surrogate or power of attorney, your family may be unable to make critical medical or financial decisions on your behalf. Mummert Law makes sure your wishes are documented and legally enforceable.
What's Right
Trust vs. Will — What's Right for You?
A last will and testament is the most common estate planning document — but it must go through probate before your assets are distributed. A revocable living trust allows assets to pass directly to beneficiaries without probate, offering faster distribution and greater privacy. Attorney Mummert walks every client through their options and helps them choose the structure that best fits their goals and family circumstances.
