Listen to the other one star reviews that fill this review page. Tom will waste your time and charge you for it. Be aware of con men like this who just try to leech money out of clients, not solve any problems. Even when coming to him with a problem involving your case, he’ll ignore you or come up with excuses as to why he cannot answer (a classic excuse is that his computer crashed. According to him, his computer must crash 4-5 times a week.I think he’s not smart enough to realize that cell phones/tablets can send emails too now, so the fact that your computer isn’t working is no excuse). It seems he thinks people are dumb enough to believe him but as I can see from a majority of these reviews, people can see right through his lies and extremely idiotic behavior. Don’t work with this mindless loser! Find anyone else, and again just look at the other reviews the one stars are absolutely telling the truth about this terrible service provided by Thomas

He doesn’t like to deal with foreign people. Karma will come for him.

He is one of the worst Hearing Officers/ Judges ever. When presented with the fact that the plaintiff had no evidence against the defendant, he still sided with the plaintiff simply because he is a police officer. By law, civil cases are to be decided on the Preponderance of Evidence (In a civil case, the plaintiff has the burden of proving the facts and claims asserted in the complaint. When a party has the Burden of Proof, the party must present, through testimony and exhibits, enough evidence to support the claim.) Be prepared to have a possible unfair case with this guy judging extremely bias. In a trial held by zoom meeting he refused to allow a defendant to object, which is perfectly legal and well within the defendants rights. Instead he logged the defendant out of the chat blocking his IP, so he couldn’t get back in the chat, and issued a harsh fine & adjudication. The zoom meetings are not officially recorded and are at the mercy of the hearing officers discretion, which makes it extremely difficult for a litigant to really “have their day in court”. This guy is a total let down to the judicial system.

Thomas Wich has been our attorney for many years and has been exceptional in all of our legal matters. Mr. Wich has an excellent reputation with other attorneys and judges for knowledge of the law, congenial rapport and representing his clients’ best interests. He is easy to talk with and he goes the extra mile at anytime of the day. Mr. Wich negotiated removal of an unjust lean on our property, revised lease agreements in our favor, and most recently represented us in the selling of our house which required extraordinary efforts due to the incompetence of the buyer’s lawyer and title company. We have found his ethics, morals and integrity to be above reproach and we rely heavily on his advice and counsel. We highly recommend Mr. Wich as an attorney without hesitation.

Questions & Answers

How does tax law play a factor in wills and trusts?

Robert Henzon Llarves | Oct 3, 2020

Florida does not charge a state inheritance or estate tax. The federal exemption for estates is $11.4 million in 2019, so only those estates that exceed this value would be subject to the federal estate tax. However, this does not mean that your beneficiaries will not ever have to pay any taxes from assets that they inherited. For example, if they receive income from an inherited asset that would have been taxable to you, they will be responsible for this estate tax, such as if they withdraw money from an inherited IRA. If they sell an inherited asset for more than you paid for it, they might have to pay income or capital gains tax. For these reasons, it is important to work with an experienced estate planning lawyer who can advise you on how to minimize the tax impact of your estate plan.

What factors are considered in determining if undue influence occurred when challenging a will?

Robert Henzon Llarves | Oct 3, 2020
Thomas M Wich PA | Oct 3, 2020

Florida courts consider the following factors when determining whether a beneficiary unduly influenced the testator: • Whether the beneficiary was present when the will was executed or when the testator discussed his or her desire to make a will • Whether the beneficiary recommended a particular attorney to draft the will and gave instructions to the attorney • Whether the beneficiary knew the contents of the will before the testator executed it • Whether the beneficiary secured witnesses for the will • Whether the beneficiary kept the will safe after its execution • Whether the beneficiary isolated the testator and disparaged family members • The presence of mental inequality between the beneficiary and the testator • The reasonableness of the will or trust provisions

What should you consider when setting up a trust?

A trust provides detailed instructions on how your property should be managed. You should consider several things when establishing a trust, such as: • What property to include in the trust • How the property should be managed during your lifetime and after your death • Who should manage the trust property • Whether you want to withhold distributions to beneficiaries until a certain age or event • How to protect your assets against creditors and minimize tax

What should you consider when setting up a will?

Robert Henzon Llarves | Oct 3, 2020
Thomas M Wich PA | Oct 3, 2020

Your will is an important legal document that will determine how your property is distributed after your passing. It should provide detailed instructions on who should receive your property after your passing. It should also name the person to carry out these instructions and name a trusted person to care for your minor children. You should carefully consider your plans and whom you trust to carry out your wishes and care for your children.

Are estates by entireties or joint tenancy with right of survivorship substitutes for a will?

Robert Henzon Llarves | Oct 3, 2020
Thomas M Wich PA | Oct 3, 2020

It depends on what type of property you have at the time of your death. If you only own real property, using these mechanisms will help you transfer your property and avoid the probate process. However, if you own any personal property or other real property that is not owned in these forms of concurrent ownership, you will still need a will to direct how this property should be handled.
