Jay Lawrence Kauffman

I represent individuals and families in prosecuting and defending claims regarding estates, trusts and guardianships, including disputes over: the validity and construction of testamentary documents and advanced directives; the modification or reformation of estate plans; the inclusion or exclusion of assets in estates or trusts; the validity of purported gifts; mental capacity; alternatives to guardianship; appointment of guardians; breaches of fiduciary duty; and tortious interference with expectancies. I also represent fiduciaries in the efficient administration of estates, trusts and guardianships., and have been doing so primarily in Florida’s Palm Beach and Broward Counties for more than 20 years. I am a graduate of Rutgers College, Rutgers University (B.A. with Honors in Economics,1993) and The University of Texas School of Law (J.D., 1996). I have been a member in good standing of the Florida Bar since 1996. I am currently a member of the Real Property, Probate and Trust Law (RPPTL), Elder Law, and Trial Law sections of the Florida Bar.
