Minerva Vazquez Santiago

I focus on helping families enhance their lives today and secure their futures. I guide my clients through the confusing maze of financial and legal decisions, as well as public benefits, to create plans that ensure the well-being of their families and the accomplishment of cherished family goals. I am a mother to two boys with disabilities, a personal detail that has made planning an everyday experience & necessity for my own family. I know first-hand the challenges of good planning, the many options available, and, most importantly, the strategies that lead a family to a plan that protects a Legacy from being lost and an Estate from being squandered. I have considerable legal expertise, including family protection, wealth preservation, values-based planning, long-term care planning, as well as planning strategies for unmarried couples and divorced individuals. Whether you are married or single, young or elder, with a traditional family or blended one, starting out, or just looking back on a life well-lived, I will help you to craft a plan that achieves your goals for your loved ones today and for years to come. I graduated from Nova Southeastern Shepherd Broad Law Center in 1999. In over 23 years of practicing law, I have worked in the areas of estate planning, special needs planning, guardianship, probate and estate administration, business planning, asset protection, and Elder Law. I work with middle-aged individuals thinking ahead about their future, the future of their children, and even the future of their aging parents. I also assist the elderly who are worried about protecting their legacy and assets so they’re not completely depleted by the rising cost of long-term care.
