Here are some of the legal services we provide for Miramar residents:

1. Living Trust. A living trust is simply detailed legal instructions. It is also a powerful legal instrument to:

   • Make sure your loved ones are cared for if you cannot;
   • Avoid a court intervening in your personal and financial affairs if you suffer a temporary or permanent mental incapacity;
   • Avoid the high cost, time, and bureaucracy of probate court; and
   • Keep legal control in your family.

   For more information regarding how a living trust can help you as a Miramar resident, see our publication: Understanding Living Trusts or Comprendiendo Fideicomisos De Vida.

2. Miramar Business Legal Services

   A major theme of our practice is helping to keep you and your business out of court so you can keep your focus on growing your business. For a Miramar small business this often means:

   • Make sure your company is structured to provide maximum protection. For example, if your company is a LLC located in Miramar, it requires a robust operating agreement that clearly limits potential creditors to a single unattractive remedy.
   • If you have a partner, you most likely do not want to end up with your partner’s spouse as your partner if that partner gets divorced, is involved in a serious accident, or dies. Typically, you should have a Shareholder’s Agreement that minimizes business interruption if these events happen and provides a clear exit strategy that protects your investment of sweat and money.

   A good legal plan minimizes and avoid disputes, and keeps the focus on making money. Attorneys at Rarick & Bowden Gold, P.A. can help you keep the focus on making money. For small business entrepreneurs, we offer a free initial consultation.

3. Miramar Probate Legal Services

   Probate is the legal process for transferring assets upon death to the legal heirs of decedent.

   Florida probate has always been a costly, bureaucratic and time-consuming process. With recent cuts in Florida court staff, it has become even more costly.
