Patricia F. Keyes
Florida Estate Planning & Elder Law Attorney
Patricia founded her law practice with a simple but powerful belief — that every South Florida family deserves a real plan, not a stack of generic documents. Protecting your family's future takes more than filling out forms. It takes someone who listens, understands your goals, and builds a personalized strategy around them.
With an LL.M. in Estate Planning and years of focused experience serving families across Broward, Miami-Dade, and Palm Beach counties, Patricia brings deep legal expertise and genuine care to every client. Whether you need a will, a trust, Medicaid planning, or asset protection — she becomes your trusted guide from the very first conversation. Hablamos Español.
These are real situations we've seen. They didn't have to happen — and with the right plan in place, they won't happen to yours.
A husband passes suddenly. His wife of 32 years assumes their home passes to her automatically — but because it was only in his name with no trust in place, the estate goes to probate court.
A mother of three uses an online template for her will. After she passes, the document is deemed invalid in Florida — her assets are distributed by state law, not her wishes.
A business owner enters a nursing home without Medicaid planning. His life savings — built over 40 years — are spent down within months before Medicaid kicks in.
Every day without a plan is a risk your family shouldn't have to take. A single consultation with Patricia can prevent years of heartache — and protect everything you've worked for.What Happens to Families Without a Plan
The right plan costs far less than no plan at all.

Estate Planning Questions, Answered
We know you have questions before taking the first step. Here are the ones we hear most often.
Yes. Estate planning isn't about wealth — it's about control. Without a plan, Florida courts decide who raises your children, who manages your assets, and who makes medical decisions for you. A basic plan ensures your wishes are honored, no matter the size of your estate.
A will goes through probate — a public court process that takes months and costs money. A trust passes assets directly to your beneficiaries, privately and without court involvement. Depending on your situation, you may need both. We'll help you understand which makes sense for your family.
Costs vary based on the complexity of your plan. We offer transparent, flat-fee pricing — so you always know what you're paying before we begin. What we can tell you: the cost of a proper estate plan is far less than what your family could spend dealing with no plan at all.
Online templates are one-size-fits-all documents that don't account for Florida law, your specific family dynamics, or your assets. We've seen families pay tens of thousands to fix problems created by DIY documents. An attorney-drafted plan costs less than the problems it prevents.
Most clients complete their estate plan in 2 to 3 weeks. We start with a complementary call with our paralegal, draft your documents within about 3 weeks, review everything together, then schedule your signing day. It's a straightforward process — we keep it moving so you're protected as quickly as possible.
Life changes — and your estate plan should too. Marriage, divorce, a new child, a new home, or a change in finances are all reasons to revisit your plan. We're here for the long term and make it easy to update your documents as your life evolves.
