(MENAFN- GetNews) Altamonte Springs, FL - December 2, 2025 - As the holiday season continues and attention shifts to the new year, Weissman | Paul is urging Central Florida residents to take stock of their legal affairs. The Altamonte Springs-based firm is advising individuals, families, and business owners to use this time of reflection to prepare for 2026 with updated estate plans, clear probate strategies, and legally sound protections in place.

Many people enter a new year with goals related to health, career, and finances-yet estate and probate planning are often overlooked. Weissman | Paul believes these legal safeguards are just as critical and can make a major difference in the lives of loved ones.

“January always brings a surge of legal consultations from people who wish they had taken care of things sooner,” said Jonathan J.A. Paul, Partner at Weissman | Paul.“December is the perfect moment to think ahead-not react later.”

Legal Planning: A Resolution Worth Keeping

While many Floridians set personal resolutions at the start of the year, Weissman | Paul believes legal planning deserves a place at the top of the list. Taking early action can protect assets, reduce court involvement, and give families clarity when they need it most.

“A well-organized estate plan doesn't just protect wealth-it protects peace of mind,” added Paul.“That's a gift that lasts far beyond the holidays.”
