Ms. St. Paul's core practice areas include estate planning ( wills, living wills, health care surrogates, powers of attorney and trusts), probate and trust administration. She has extensive experience in helping families, couples and individuals in all of these areas.She brings to her area of practice a unique combination of caring, compassion and practicality that enables her to quickly assess the needs of her clients to develop a comprehensive estate plan which her clients say give them peace of mind and a high level of comfort. This ensures that their needs will be met during their later years and their goals as to the ultimate distribution of their assets to their beneficiaries will be fulfilled. A significant portion of her practice centers on drafting and forming for her clients a revocable trust, which allows individuals to create a plan which provides for their care in the event of illness or incapacity and also results in the ultimate distribution of the assets to the individual's beneficiaries without the need of probate or court monitored administration.

I focus my practice on wills, trusts and estates, including probate and trust administrations.  I am board certified by the Florida Bar in Wills, Trusts and Estates and a Fellow of the American College of Trust and Estates Counsel.. Our main office is in Bradenton, but we also offer appointments in Holmes Beach, Lakewood Ranch and Parrish.

I am here to help you and your family properly design and execute your Will, Trust, Durable Power of Attorney, Healthcare Surrogate, and more. Additionally, I can assist with qualifying you or your loved one for Florida Medicaid and/or VA Aid & Attendance as needed.. One of the reasons I love this area of practice is that I get to work so closely with my clients and strive to make sure they are not only aware of what options they have, but that they also have a true understanding of each of those options. It is my job to educate my clients and guide them- not to make decisions for them and force a certain direction.. I am VA accredited and have experience with VA related cases at the local, Board, and Court of Appeals for Veterans Claims levels.. Outside of practicing law, I enjoy photography (and spent quite a bit of time as a professional photographer), snorkeling, kayaking, and just enjoying the Florida lifestyle.
