8. Estate Planning
• Wills – You should decide who gets your property, not the state. Planning
ahead may be difficult, but it avoids tough decisions for your family and
friends. Preparing a will requires professional judgment, which can only
be obtained with years of training and experience. Ned can get you
moving in the right direction.
• If you’re not from Florida, it would be a wise decision to have your will
reviewed by Ned Hale. A will must be properly executed in strict
compliance with Florida laws in order to be probated, and we can make
sure this is taken care of for you properly.
• Living Wills – A Living Will is a declaration which addresses whether or
not you want medical professionals to use life-prolonging procedures in
the event you are unable to communicate your wishes. It is a way to
ensure that your wishes on this sensitive subject are heard.

9. • Powers of Attorney – A Durable Power of Attorney can be used to
designate someone else to handle your affairs if you become
incapacitated. It is very valuable tool to allow someone else to take care
of your business if you cannot.
• Health Care Surrogate – A Health Care Surrogate allows you to designate
a representative to make health care decisions on your behalf if you are
unable to do so.
• Enhanced Life Estate Deeds – The perfect way to avoid probate for your
most important asset: Your home. It essentially creates a “payable on
death” designation for your real estate. You have a life estate for your
life, wherein you can sell or refinance your property and retain all
proceeds. Then, when you pass, the property automatically goes to your
heirs as listed on the deed. No expensive or time consuming probate. No
trust hassles or expense.

11. Valuable Clientele
• Shawn – Ned is a “What you see, is what you get” kind of guy. I have dealt
with attorneys in many states and for different reasons, but I have yet to
meet one that prides himself on under promising and over delivering. He
will turn away your business before promising something he does not
believe can or should be done.Too many other attorneys have told me
what I wanted to hear and acted more like my “friend” instead of doing
the job I hired them for. Ned definitely wants to be your friend, but he
knows that it is his obligation to get take care of your needs first. After all,
isn’t that what you are paying him for.
