While divorce and estate planning may be two vastly different areas of our legal practice, they have common issues. The end of a marriage or the fallout from a loved one's death is an emotionally charged time. Many times, once-close family members are now pitted against each other. At the Law Office of Mark E. Parsons, we believe that life-changing matters can be resolved through reasonable discussions, not contentious litigation.
Explore the Option of a Florida Mediation Lawyer
Divorce does not have to be a battle. However, both sides need to be open to the prospect of mediation. Mark E. Parsons, the founder of our law firm, is not only a divorce attorney, but also a Florida-certified Family Law Mediator. Issues involving money or quality time with children can deteriorate into bitterness. The role of a mediator is to get both sides to the table in an open and honest discussion.

Be Proactive in Developing an Estate Plan
Clients from outside of Florida often come to us when a family member and resident of the state dies. In some cases, an estate plan exists. Conversely, a will or trust does not exist, requiring that the estate go to probate court. We encourage all clients to consider an estate plan. Your goal should be to clarify your wishes and designate valuable assets to beneficiaries, avoiding the possibility of a will contest.
