Frequently Asked Questions

You should consider hiring a tax attorney if you are dealing with any of the following:

• An IRS audit or examination
• Unpaid taxes or a tax debt you cannot resolve on your own
• A tax dispute, penalty, or notice from the IRS
• Complex tax planning involving significant assets or business interests
• Tax litigation or negotiations with the IRS

A tax attorney can represent your interests directly with the IRS, protect you under attorney-client privilege, and help reduce penalties or negotiate a resolution.

Fees depend on the complexity of the matter and the scope of work involved. During your initial consultation, Karina will walk you through a clear fee structure before any engagement begins. There are no surprises.

Timelines vary based on the type and complexity of the dispute. Some matters resolve within a few months. More complex cases involving litigation or extended IRS negotiations can take longer. KVasquez Law will give you a realistic estimate based on your specific situation and keep you informed throughout the process.

Yes. Estate planning is not only for high-net-worth individuals. Without a plan in place, Florida law determines what happens to your assets and who makes decisions on your behalf if you become incapacitated. A basic estate plan gives you control over those outcomes regardless of the size of your estate.

A complete estate plan generally includes:

• A will that directs how your assets are distributed
• One or more trusts depending on your goals and family structure
• A durable power of attorney for financial decisions
• A healthcare directive for medical decisions

The right combination depends on your personal circumstances. KVasquez Law builds plans around your specific situation, not a one-size-fits-all template.

A will takes effect after you pass away and goes through probate, which is a public court process. A trust can take effect immediately, avoids probate, and keeps your affairs private. Many clients use both. The right structure depends on your assets, your family, and your goals.

Bring any documents you already have, including:

• A business plan or summary of your business idea

KVasquez Law will review what you have and advise on the best legal structure for your goals.
