About Linda

Ms. Griffin’s goals have always been to educate and help you navigate through complex estate planning issues, Florida probate, trust administration issues and Federal tax laws. If we do not provide those services, then we have not met our goals.

You have more important goals, strengths and opportunities on which to focus than to worry about the details of planning and administrating your legacy plan. Let us worry about the details of planning and administering your trust or estate. Our firm thrives on details.
