As a fellow elder law attorney, I know the unique combination of expertise in a tricky area of law and compassion needed to serve clients in this area of law. Beth Maykut has it. She has mastered the areas of wills, trusts, Medicaid, and estate administration, and connects with people on a deep level. This is a special area of law where it is important to pick a compassionate expert. I recommend Beth Maykut for this reason.

Excellent title company that goes above and beyond! Very impressed with them. Been in real estate for 20 years so I have worked with a good bit of companies.

I had reached out to just about every elder law firm in Tallahassee for help setting up my grandfather’s estate after he had a health emergency. 3 of them never called me back, one told me the next opening was months away, and one led me on for months telling me the attorney was almost ready to take my case, before finally admitting the next opening was also months away. I spent months worrying about what we would do, tearing my hair out and agonizing over what felt like a hopeless situation. Ms. Maykut with King & Wood was the only attorney to immediately spring into action and help us during this extremely difficult time. Within a week, Ms. Maykut handled my grandpa’s entire estate, met him in the hospital and solved all our problems for a good price. I cannot possibly thank her and her office enough. They were friendly, communicative, understanding, and prompt. I can say with absolutely no reservations that we, as a family, would have been financially ruined were it not for her coming to our rescue in this dire situation. Thank you Ms. Maykut!

The initial closing date was changed which caused things to be rush. Mistakes on initial paperwork (for ex. misspellings, amounts incorrect, etc) were made due to the date of closing being moved up. There were many factors that caused this closing not to go as smoothly as possible, for ex. A 1031 exchange, home was owned by a trust, documents accidentally sent to Kentucky instead of Tallahassee, etc. Home closed over a month ago and I have never received any documents from closing in April 2024. (Since then I have been told today that they will be overnighted to me.) Update: Mr. Edward Wood called and expressed his apology for what happened. I was very appreciative of his phone call.

Highly recommend this firm for any commercial and residential real estate needs. MSM’s team works smoothly and consistently to ensure all your needs are met. Best in town!

Great experience,

Very informative, very smooth transaction,whether you are a seller or buyer. Very good closing agent ,where you can't go wrong at all.

We had a great meeting and really appreciate the help and advice we received about elder law.

Good morning Consumer World! I have to say this is the best probate law firm in town! My mom passed away last year and I was basically forced to sell her home due to a reverse mortgage not being reasonable. This was such a quick fix but a stressful time for me. The home is in Apalachicola Florida, a smaller town with limited resources and "busy" attorneys. It felt as though no one could take my case. We were in crunch time with only a few weeks from foreclosure proceedings so my deadline was July 9-13th. I made a call to an attorney and he was retired but referred me to St. George Island. I spoke to a gentleman that stated he didn't do probates but referred me to Stephanie Galloway at Manausa, Shaw, & Minacci in Tallahassee stating it was their sister company. I was losing hope and gave her a call. Our phone call was quick, productive, and efficient. She sounded confident we could do this in the time frame we needed but of course couldn't make any promises. Literally, we scraped up the money needed, overnighted it her, signed all documents, and she had it to the judge in a week! I was so impressed, I couldn't believe it! Next thing you know the judge signed off in 1 day and house is updated in me and my brother's name. I was almost in tears it was a bitter-sweet time but God put her in my path to get everything taken care of. Foreclosure was for July 13th, we closed the house of July 11th. Now tell me if that's not top-notch service there! I apologize for the long review but this was something that needed to be said. After we closed on the home, it seemed like everybody wanted their contact information from attorneys, title companies, and my realtor so hopefully we got you more business! LOL Don't take my word for it, if you ever need legal guidance, go to Manusa, Shaw, & Minacci, PA. Thank you again Stephanie!

Wonderful group of attorneys!!
