How the Guides Are Researched and Written
Kevin D. Klagge, Esq. pulls news sources, authoritative commentary, statutes, and extensive case law to review and publish helpful material for visitors seeking clear answers about Florida estate planning, probate, elder law, business structuring, and cross-border tax. Research starts wide, with what courts, agencies, and practitioners are saying, then narrows to the controlling authority itself. Nothing is published until it has been read against that authority, which is the standard the rest of this page describes.
Every Legal Claim Is Checked Against the Primary Source
Guides on this site are grounded in the controlling authority itself, meaning the Florida Statutes as published at flsenate.gov, the Florida Constitution, published court decisions, the Internal Revenue Code, and official agency materials (IRS forms and instructions, FinCEN guidance, the DCF program policy manual). We do not repeat figures from other websites without checking them against the source. Each guide lists its authorities in a Sources of Law block at the bottom of the page, with the date we last retrieved them.
Attorney Review
Content is reviewed by Kevin D. Klagge, Esq., Fla. Bar No. 99502. Kevin litigates estate and business disputes in Florida courts, and the guides reflect how these rules actually get applied and fought over, not just what the statute says.
Dated Updates That Mean Something
Every guide shows an "Updated on" date. We change that date only when the content actually changes, for example when a statute is amended, a figure is adjusted, a program opens or closes, or we add a substantive section. We do not bump dates to look fresh. Key numbers (Medicaid limits, tax exemptions, statutory fees, filing costs) are re-verified on a recurring schedule and when the law changes.
What This Site Will Not Do
- No outcome guarantees or predictions. Results depend on facts, and past results do not guarantee a similar outcome.
- No invented statistics. When we cite a number, it comes from a primary source or a named study.
- No pretending information is advice. Reading this site does not create an attorney-client relationship; the guides are general information about Florida law, and your situation may differ.
Corrections
If you believe something on this site is wrong or out of date, email [email protected]. We check every report against the primary source and correct the page if it is off, with the update reflected in the page's date.
