We Are Here To Serve You
Teresa K. Bowman P.A. is an Estate Planning and Elder Law firm headed by Sarasota Elder Law Attorney Teresa K. Bowman, Esq.
My mission is simple. I listen and help you and your family develop a plan to meet your needs. This usually starts with a review of your current estate planning documents and your overall goals.
I love my work and strive to create an environment where you feel comfortable to share your story and allow us to establish a relationship of trust and confidence.
I assist my clients with estate planning for asset protection, planning for spendthrift or disabled adult children, or planning for minor children with special needs.
I assist clients with long term care planning to include qualification for Medicaid, VA benefits or protection of assets with the creation of irrevocable trusts.
I assist clients with probate and trust administration and, lastly, I help families deal with many other issues that arise when dealing with a difficult illness and the care of a loved one.
I approach my work as a problem solver and my goal is to help you and your family deal with the problems you currently face or that you may face. Many times you may not immediately need my services, but the services of others in the community. A big part of my job is connecting you with those that can help and I enjoy the teamwork that evolves as we work together to create a workable solution.
Please call me to arrange a time to discuss your situation and needs.
