Debra L. Boje, J.D., LL.M., is a Florida Bar Board Certified wills, trusts and estates lawyer. She focuses her practice in the areas of estate planning, probate, taxation, and family business succession planning. She is Board Certified by The Florida Bar in the area of Wills, Trusts and Estates and is a Fellow of the American College of Trust and Estate Counsel (ACTEC).

Utilizing her extensive tax background, Ms. Boje develops estate plans for her clients that not only optimize tax savings but take into consideration the family dynamics of each client. Her process includes the drafting of trusts, wills, and beneficiary designations for retirement assets, the utilization of estate planning techniques such as the creation of family–owned limited liability entities and life insurance trusts, as well as the formulization and implementation of business succession plans, and when appropriate, asset protection plans. Ms. Boje’s practice also involves administration of taxable and non-taxable estates and trusts, including counseling clients in post-mortem planning techniques, trust reformations, and administrative obligations, as well as preparation of federal estate tax returns and fiduciary accountings. Litigation support in guardianship, probate and trust litigation matters is another significant aspect of her practice. She uses both her tax and administrative background to assist in a wide range of litigation matters representing beneficiaries, creditors and individual and corporate fiduciaries.

She is a frequent speaker at seminars organized by the Real Property, Probate and Trust Law Section, and for other audiences, on a variety of topics pertaining to estate planning, probate and guardianship law. She is a contributing author to Basic Estate Planning in Florida, Fourth and Fifth Edition, published by The Florida Bar.
