Estate Planning for Oceanfront Tower Living

Sunny Isles Beach has transformed into one of the world's most desirable oceanfront destinations. From the architectural marvel of Porsche Design Tower—where residents park their cars in sky garages beside their units—to the five-star amenities of Acqualina and the sleek profiles of Jade Beach and Jade Ocean, this barrier island represents the pinnacle of Florida luxury living.

This unique lifestyle demands equally sophisticated estate planning. Multi-million dollar condominiums, international ownership structures, seasonal residency considerations, and complex condo association requirements all require an attorney who understands both Florida law and high-rise realities.

Sunny Isles Beach's diverse international community includes many families with ties to South America, Europe, and beyond. We help structure estate plans that address cross-border considerations while complying with Florida law.

Our services include living trusts essential for avoiding Florida probate on high-value condos, asset protection strategies for business owners and professionals, and coordinated planning for clients who maintain residences in multiple countries or states.

With licenses in both Florida and New York—and over four decades serving South Florida—we bring the expertise your oceanfront investment deserves.

Questions from Sunny Isles Beach Residents

Common questions from oceanfront condo owners in our community.

For high-value real estate, yes. Florida probate can take 6-12 months minimum, during which your heirs cannot easily sell or refinance the property. Attorney fees and court costs are based on asset value. A properly funded living trust avoids all of this, allowing immediate transfer to your beneficiaries without court involvement or public record.

Absolutely. Many Sunny Isles residents are international owners, and Florida law allows non-citizens to create valid trusts for their Florida property. We help structure ownership to minimize both U.S. estate tax exposure and probate complications while ensuring your property transfers according to your wishes.

Most Sunny Isles buildings permit trust ownership, though procedures vary. Some require board approval, others simply need updated documentation on file. We work with you to understand your specific building's requirements and ensure the transfer is handled smoothly while maintaining all your rights as a unit owner.

Seasonal residency creates important considerations around domicile, homestead exemption eligibility, and which state's laws govern your estate. We help seasonal residents structure their planning to take advantage of Florida's favorable laws where appropriate while ensuring coordination with their primary state of residence.
