Estate Planning

Gays and lesbians need to take special care in estate planning in order to protect themselves, their partners, and their children. Our estate planning lawyer will listen to your circumstances and prepare the documents you need. Depending on your needs, those documents might include a simple will, domestic partnership agreement, parenting agreement, pour-over trust, health care surrogacy, donor-recipient agreement, pre-need guardianship (so partners have a right to care for each other), and a durable power of attorney (so that one partner can act on behalf of the other when necessary).

Adoption

While Florida does not allow gays and lesbians to adopt children, Florida does recognize adoptions from other states. We can answer your questions about adoption and about how to gain recognition of an out-of-state adoption.

Parenting Rights

Often gays and lesbians face challenges to their rights as parents—whether of adopted children or birth children. If you need legal representation to maintain your rights as a parent, we can help.

Military Discharge Issues

Are you being discharged from the military because of sexual orientation? It is important for your future that you have an honorable discharge. As a third-generation sailor and disabled US Navy veteran, attorney Rusty Mead has the understanding and legal knowledge to help you.
