Stacey Schwartz Perez is a Florida Bar Board Certified Elder Law Attorney who helps individuals and families plan for the future with confidence. Her practice includes estate planning, elder law, probate administration, trust administration, guardianship, special needs planning, and long-term care planning.

Stacey works with clients through every stage of life—from young adults creating their first estate plan, to growing families protecting their children, to retirees planning for incapacity and long-term care. Whether creating a proactive estate plan or guiding loved ones through the administration of an estate or trust after a loss, Stacey provides practical, personalized advice tailored to each family’s goals, values, and circumstances. She believes estate planning is not a one-time transaction, but an ongoing relationship that evolves as families grow, circumstances change, and new challenges arise. Stacey is passionate about building lasting relationships with her clients and serving as a trusted advisor through every stage of life.
