Law offices can be cold, intimidating places, but we think you’ll be pleasantly surprised when you meet with attorney Ben Patton to discuss your estate plan in our Tallahassee office. The office is easy to find and offers ample free parking, and you will feel welcome and comfortable as soon as you enter and meet our staff. Ben’s compassion and desire to help families are what brought him to estate planning and you will feel that commitment as soon as you sit down with him.

What We Can Do for You and Your Family

Ben offers comprehensive estate planning services to families throughout Leon and Gadsden Counties. He will discuss your specific goals and hopes for the future and create a plan that may include the following:

  • Wills and trusts. Everyone needs a basic will, and Ben will help you execute one that clearly states what you want to happen when you die. If you have significant assets, minor children, or a need for privacy, he will also explain the benefits of a revocable living trust.
  • Asset protection. If you work in a high-risk profession, own your own business, or have considerable debt, Ben will walk you through various legal options for protecting your assets from lawsuits and creditors.
  • Elder law. Retirees should consider how they will pay for long-term care if they should one day need it and how they want their affairs managed if they become mentally incapacitated. These are the goals of the elder law services Ben offers.

Ben will take the time to get to know you so that you can develop an estate plan that does exactly what you need it to do but is not prohibitively expensive.

Ben Brings a Unique Perspective to Estate Planning

As a young husband and father, Ben faced an unthinkable family crisis. After almost losing his wife to breast cancer, he shifted the focus of his legal practice to help families like his prepare for the unexpected. It’s time to take the step you’ve been putting off—call McRae Metcalf to schedule a consultation with Ben today.
