There are many attorneys around The Villages who advertise trust and estate planning services. However, if you look at the Florida Bar website, you can click on the area that says “find a lawyer”, then narrow it down to someone board certified in “estates and trusts”, no names come up for Sumter or Marion counties. Two firms come up in Lake County, both in Eustis. For the first one I called in Eustis, no one was board certified in wills and trusts at the time, but that may have changed. I used the Gaylord and Rogers firm also in Eustis, and was very pleased with Frank Gaylord and his service. The fact that an attorney is not Board certified does not mean that they are not allowed to do wills and trusts, but it does mean that they do not have the additional training that board certification provides. For simple wills and trusts, maybe a boilerplate document will do. When you go to a medical doctor for a specific condition, sometimes a general practitioner will do, but often you need a specialist.
