This year, The Law Offices of Hoyt & Bryan is proud to celebrate 25 remarkable years of helping individuals and their families protect their legacies. As one of Central Florida’s leading estate-planning and elder-law firms, Hoyt & Bryan boasts a 100 percent board-certified attorney team and is uniquely positioned as the only Florida law firm with two attorneys – founding partners Peggy Hoyt and Randy Bryan – who are both board-certified in wills, trusts, and estates, as well as in elder law. Together they have more than 50 years of combined legal experience.
Hoyt & Bryan’s main office is located in the heart of historic Oviedo, and there is a satellite office at One Senior Place in Altamonte Springs. The Law Offices of Hoyt & Bryan is also the home base of partner Sarah AuMiller, a Florida Bar board-certified specialist in elder law, and partner Michelle Adams Gumula, who is certified in wills, trusts and estates. Both Sarah and Michelle provide superior legal education and counseling to clients.
The dedicated team of Hoyt & Bryan operates wholeheartedly by the motto “partners in planning and friends for life.” Their philosophy revolves around working side by side with clients to co-create estate plans, while enjoying a lifelong relationship as friends and trusted advisors.
In addition to providing the best in client experience and legal expertise, another major cornerstone of Hoyt & Bryan’s mission is to educate the community through complimentary workshops that are open to the public and available both online and in person. Topics include estate planning, Medicaid planning, and veterans benefits planning, among others.
It’s never too early to start planning ahead for your long-term care or the distribution of your estate. Unfortunately, many clients wait until a crisis occurs – such as a health emergency – and they are unable to manage their own care. The situation can become stressful, complicated, and expensive. The workshops are a fantastic opportunity to get ahead of those scenarios and serve as an introduction for individuals and families seeking additional information about general estate-planning principles, the federal estate and gift tax structures, and the importance of implementing and maintaining estate plans.
Hoyt & Bryan also specializes in special needs and disability planning, guardian advocacy and guardianship, and pet trusts. For more information, or to make an appointment with the Hoyt & Bryan legal team, call 407-977-8080 or visit HoytBryan.com.
