Guidance You Can Trust in Wills, Trusts, and More

Secure Your Legacy with Comprehensive Planning

Planning for the future is one of the most important steps you can take for yourself and your loved ones. At Barnhill Law Firm, we provide estate planning services that go beyond paperwork — we craft thoughtful strategies designed to protect your assets, provide peace of mind, and ensure your wishes are honored. Serving Fort Myers, FL, and the surrounding counties, our team has over 20 years of experience helping families like yours create plans that last for generations.

Why Estate Planning Matters

Estate planning is more than preparing documents. It’s about taking control of your future and ensuring the people you care about are provided for. Without a proper plan, your estate may be subject to lengthy court processes and decisions made outside of your control. We help you avoid unnecessary stress by creating a clear, legally binding roadmap that reflects your unique goals.

Our Estate Planning Services

• Wills - A will ensures that your property and assets are distributed according to your wishes, not the state’s default laws. We help you draft a clear, enforceable will that addresses your specific needs and provides guidance to your loved ones during difficult times.
• Trusts - Trusts offer greater flexibility and control over how your assets are managed and distributed. From revocable living trusts to special needs trusts, we design solutions that help minimize taxes, protect assets, and streamline the transfer process for your beneficiaries.
• Powers of Attorney - Life is unpredictable, and designating a trusted person to act on your behalf in financial or legal matters is essential. We assist in preparing durable powers of attorney to safeguard your interests if you become unable to make decisions.
• Advance Healthcare Directives - An advance healthcare directive communicates your wishes regarding medical treatment should you become incapacitated. We provide guidance to ensure your voice is heard and respected, even when you cannot speak for yourself.
