Our Practice Areas

We stand ready to deliver creative and tailor-made solutions and provide exceptionally high-quality advice in all major practice areas.

Guardianship

When a family member is unable to care for himself and has no estate planning documents, or refuses to cooperate with the person appointed in their estate planning documents, guardianship may be necessary.

Estate Planning

We believe in taking the time to talk with each client about their reason for coming to see us. Learning a client’s wishes, assets, and studying how each asset is titled, prepares us to provide the best estate planning options.

Nursing Home Medicaid

Long-term care in a nursing home can exceed $100,000 per year. For individuals who do not have sufficient private resources or long-term care insurance to pay for this care, Medicaid can be a significant financial resource.

Medicaid Planning & Asset Protection

Each state has specific programs and rules that differ from their neighbors. This makes it important to speak to a local elder law attorney who knows Florida Medicaid law if you have questions about benefits for yourself or a loved one.

Probate & Trust Administration

A probate attorney assists the personal representative with accounting for all probate assets, valuing the probate estate and paying off any debts before distributing what is left of the probate estate among the beneficiaries or heirs.

Veterans Benefits

Pension, Housebound, and Aid and Attendance benefits can help pay the long-term care costs of a veteran or their surviving spouse who is struggling financially. The analysis starts with determining whether a veteran or spouse is eligible for pension benefits through the Veterans Administration (VA).

Client's Testimonials

We strive to be approachable and reachable and maintain communication with our clients. We value clients and works relentlessly to achieve excellent results.

“Britton Swank and her office provided excellent service, demonstrating professionalism and personal attention to all details in helping my parents with their wills/trusts and the execution of them after their sudden death. Britton’s attitude to the work, her compassion and her in-depth knowledge is impressive. Not only was she there for my parents but also for myself and my siblings during the difficult time after their passing. Requests were handled in a quick, efficient manner. The transition was spot on! We couldn’t have asked for a better attorney!”

Mary B.

Lehigh Acres, FL

“It is with great confidence that I can personally recommend Britton Swank for your estate planning needs. Her personal commitment to my family in securing my quality of life while living and the transfer of my estate to my son upon my passing has been very comforting to everyone concerned. I would highly recommend her to others as you plan for today, tomorrow, and your legacy.”

Pam A.

Fort Myers, FL

“Once I met with Britton Swank, a huge burden was lifted. She and her assistant not only walked me through the process, they were always available. I knew I was never alone and that gave me great comfort. Ms. Swank even met me at the bank on a Saturday morning when the branch manager was refusing me access to the safety deposit box even though I had all the court orders giving me full access.”
