Lumsden Law

Through the years I have built a reputation as a leader As a young professional, hospitality was a great fit for my personality. The job was never just about me.

Through the years I have built a reputation as a leader who crushes goals, adds value, and creates lasting relationships along the way. I have had the privilege of leading dynamic teams of amazing individuals and have seen them flourish through some of our nation’s most recent trying financial times. Through their success and dedication, our clients flourished as well. While I enjoyed my work, I e

ventually tired of making money for large corporations and decided it was time to help the individuals who really need it, and Lumsden Law was born. Walking away from hospitality was hard, but once I created my first estate plan I never looked back, realizing how my skills would translate to my clients’ success.

Have you been told by your bank that you can't simply retitle your account into your trust?

You're not alone.

This is something many clients encounter when funding their revocable living trust, and it can create unexpected questions about direct deposits, automatic payments, and account access.

In this video, I explain what this means, why banks sometimes require it, and what you should consider before making the change.

Have questions about funding your trust? Contact Lumsden Law to schedule a consultation and make sure your plan is working the way it's intended.

⚖️ Had the opportunity to serve as a guest speaker at the Legal Aid Society of the Orange County Bar Association's Summer Soiree a few weeks ago.

The event brings together approximately 50 new attorneys and introduces them to the opportunities and benefits of incorporating pro bono work into their practice.

It was great to be part of the conversation and share insights on the value of serving the community through the legal profession.

One of my favorite photos from the evening is with the event's emcee, the Senior Staff Attorney of Pro Bono Engagement for the Legal Aid Society of the Orange County Bar Association.

Thank you to the Legal Aid Society and the Orange County Bar Association for the invitation and for hosting such a valuable event.

A Lady Bird Deed can be a powerful tool for Florida homeowners who want to keep their property out of probate while maintaining complete control of it during their lifetime.

But before you sign one, there are important factors to consider—especially if your property has an outstanding mortgage.

In this video, I explain how Lady Bird Deeds work, their benefits, and why it's important to understand the potential risks before moving forward.

Thinking about using a Lady Bird Deed as part of your estate plan? Schedule a complimentary consultation with Lumsden Law to discuss your options and determine whether it's the right strategy for your situation.

𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐖𝐨𝐮𝐥𝐝 𝐘𝐨𝐮 𝐖𝐚𝐧𝐭 𝐘𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐅𝐚𝐦𝐢𝐥𝐲 𝐭𝐨 𝐊𝐧𝐨𝐰 𝐀𝐛𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐘𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐁𝐮𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐬?

If something happened to you today, would your family know:
• Where your business bank accounts are?
• Who your key clients are?
• What contracts are active?
• How payroll gets processed?
• Who to call first?

Most business owners carry this knowledge in their head — and nowhere else.

An estate plan for business owners isn't just about legal documents. It's about making sure the people you love aren't left scrambling.

💬 What's the ONE thing you'd want your family to know about your business if you couldn't tell them? Share below.

If you're ready to put it all in writing, Lumsden Law can help. ⚖️

May in Central Florida means one thing: it's about to get very hot, very fast. ☀️

For business owners, this is also a natural checkpoint. You're halfway through the year. Contracts are in motion. Revenue is flowing.

But have you taken the time to protect what's generating all of that?

As hurricane season approaches, now is the time to:
• Review your estate plan for business assets
• Confirm your power of attorney is current
• Ensure your insurance and legal documents are aligned
• Have the succession conversation with your partner or family

Don't wait for a storm — literal or otherwise — to force the issue.

Quick poll for business owners:

If you were suddenly unable to work — hospital stay, serious injury, unexpected health crisis — is there someone legally authorized to step in and run your business?

There's no shame in answering C. Most business owners haven't.

But the gap between "someone could probably figure it out" and "someone is legally authorized to act" is the difference between business continuity and chaos.

If your answer is B or C, let's close that gap. ⚖️

𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐌𝐨𝐬𝐭 𝐁𝐮𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐬-𝐎𝐰𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐂𝐨𝐮𝐩𝐥𝐞𝐬 𝐀𝐯𝐨𝐢𝐝 — 𝐀𝐧𝐝 𝐖𝐡𝐲 𝐈𝐭 𝐌𝐚𝐭𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐬

"What happens to the business if something happens to me?"

It's the question that sits in the back of every business-owning couple's mind — and the one most couples never actually sit down to answer.

Not because they don't care. Because the conversation feels too heavy. Too morbid. Too "we'll deal with it later."

But here's the reality: later doesn't wait.

If one spouse runs the business and the other doesn't know how it operates, doesn't have legal authority to access accounts, and hasn't been named in the right documents — "later" becomes a crisis.

Having this conversation — and documenting it legally — is one of the most loving things you can do for each other.

Lumsden Law helps couples turn difficult conversations into clear, actionable plans. ⚖️

𝐃𝐮𝐫𝐚𝐛𝐥𝐞 𝐏𝐨𝐰𝐞𝐫 𝐨𝐟 𝐀𝐭𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐧𝐞𝐲 𝐯𝐬. 𝐁𝐮𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐬 𝐎𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐀𝐠𝐫𝐞𝐞𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐬: 𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐂𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐬 𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭?

Many Florida business owners assume their operating agreement covers incapacity. It usually doesn't.

Here's the difference:

📋 Operating Agreement / Bylaws
Governs internal business decisions — voting, profit sharing, management structure. May or may not address what happens if a member becomes incapacitated.

📋 Durable Power of Attorney (DPOA)
A personal legal document that gives a trusted person authority to act on YOUR behalf — including managing your interest in a business — if you become unable to do so.

Without a DPOA, your spouse or family may not have the legal authority to step in, even if they know how to run the business.

You need both. And they need to work together.

If you're not sure whether your documents are aligned, Lumsden Law can help you review them. ⚖️

𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐇𝐚𝐩𝐩𝐞𝐧𝐬 𝐭𝐨 𝐘𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐁𝐮𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐬 𝐈𝐟 𝐘𝐨𝐮 𝐁𝐞𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐞 𝐈𝐧𝐜𝐚𝐩𝐚𝐜𝐢𝐭𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐝?

Most business owners plan for growth — but not for the scenario where they suddenly can't work.

If you were in a serious accident or suffered a medical emergency tomorrow, who would:
• Sign checks and pay employees?
• Make decisions about clients and contracts?
• Access business bank accounts?
• Keep daily operations running?

Without a durable power of attorney and an incapacity plan built into your trust, your family may need to go through court — a process that can take weeks or months while your business suffers.

For business owners who are the sole operator, this is especially critical. Your family may have no legal authority to act.

Don't wait until it's too late. Schedule a consultation with Lumsden Law.
