The Basics, Explained
Why Spanski Law
A focused Florida probate practice, not a factory.
Probate is stressful enough without being handed off to a rotating team. When you work with Spanski Law, one attorney — serving families across Venice and Sarasota County — knows your file, communicates with the court, and answers your calls start to finish.
You work directly with Season
Not a call center, not a rotating team of paralegals. Every plan is drafted, reviewed, and explained by the attorney whose name is on the door.
Built for Florida law, not a template
Homestead protections, the two-witness-plus-notary signing rule, personal representative residency, and Lady Bird deeds are all Florida-specific. Generic online forms routinely miss them.
Plans designed to avoid probate
Where it makes sense, we use revocable trusts, enhanced life estate (Lady Bird) deeds, and correct beneficiary designations so your family isn't stuck in court after you're gone.
A focused, boutique practice
Estate planning, probate, trust administration, and deeds — that's it. It's what Season does every day, and it's the reason clients drive from across Southwest Florida to work with her.
