In observance of Memorial Day, our office is closed today as we honor and remember those who made the ultimate sacrifice for our country. 🇺🇸
We will resume normal business hours tomorrow, Tuesday, May 26th. Wishing everyone a safe holiday. #MemorialDay#atcauselawoffice
I get asked this in our office constantly, and someone just brought it up on TikTok:
"Is Medicaid recovery only if parent goes into nursing home or if they've been getting Medicaid?"
Our managing attorney Ashly answers this question directly. 👇

Creditors can undo a property transfer up to two years after a death! 🏠⚖️ The "Clawback" Warning.
With a Transfer on Death Deed, if the estate can’t pay its debts, creditors have a 2-year "clawback" period to get paid out of the property. But with a Lady Bird Deed? It’s a done deal.

It sounds crazy, but it happens—especially in family estate planning. A property owner (the Grantor) can sign and record a deed in your name without you (the Grantee) ever signing a single document.

Beneficiary forms avoid probate… until they don’t. Here are the real-life situations that send those accounts straight to court #FloridaLaw#Attorney#Probate
Ever heard of the “trump card” in estate planning?
You can spend hours with an attorney writing the perfect will…
but one single beneficiary designation (or joint owner) will beat it every single time.
Here’s the truth most people learn too late:
✅ POD/TOD beneficiary forms trump your will
✅ Joint accounts (especially with kids) trump your will
✅ Florida Lady Bird deeds trump your will
