About Justin B Stivers

Nearly 90% of our clients are referred by other attorneys or past clients. I personally take great pride in that statistic because it means that my colleagues and my clients go out of their way to recommend me and my firm to those who need services in the areas of estate planning and probate. I also recognize and appreciate the responsibility that comes along with receiving referrals.

The person making the referral is putting their own name and reputation on the line whenever referring someone. Often, a referring attorney is referring their own client to us, which means that we need to make the referring attorney look good. Therefore, our goal whenever receiving a referral is to make the referring attorney look good to their client and to provide phenomenal, results-driven service.

I believe that we do that at Stivers Law. We provide services in the areas of estate planning and probate. Estate planning includes drafting Wills, Trusts, Powers of Attorney, or other “pre-death” documents for clients. The estate plans we prepare are not cookie cutter plans. Our estate planning clients are with us for life.

In fact, we end up doing the estate plans for their children. We are essentially the quarterback for our estate planning clients meaning that we take a holistic look at the client’s goals and make sure they have a plan that works in conjunction with their financial goals. We work with their CPA, their financial advisor, and their insurance agent to make sure we are all on the same page.

However, we also work with the client to make sure their legacy is preserved. Obviously, we want to make sure the traditional things like preserving their assets are taken care of, but we also want to make sure that the intangible things like their family history, their values and their traditions are passed down from generation to generation.

To us, creating an estate plan is more than just drafting documents. It is about creating a life-long relationship. Probate administration on the other hand occurs after a person has died. Often this is because the person only had a Will or had no plan in place. We handle all aspects of probate (except litigation), but we see three common scenarios: 1) this is the typical probate where someone passed away and had assets in Florida that needs to be transferred to their heirs and beneficiaries; 2) often the person was a resident of another state but had a second home or other assets in Florida.

A primary probate is done in their resident state and then we are hired to do a second, or ancillary probate, for their assets in Florida; and 3) we are often hired by personal injury firms to open an estate and get a Personal Representative appointed so that they can proceed with their lawsuit, such as a wrongful death case.

If you are an attorney looking to refer your clients to a respectable, dependable, and efficient Florida estate planning and probate law firm, I would encourage you to call Stivers Law.
