Profile
I’m Michaelangelo Mortellaro, the principal attorney at Mortellaro Law, a Tampa-based Elder Law and Estate Planning law firm serving individuals in Hillsborough County and the surrounding areas. Today, I want to talk about the essentials of estate planning and how we can help you navigate this important process.
Estate Planning
At Mortellaro Law, we focus on creating comprehensive estate plans that provide you with peace of mind and meet your unique goals. One of the core components of an estate plan is a will and trust. These documents are crucial for clearly expressing your final wishes and can help reduce potential conflicts among family members. For example, a well-drafted Revocable Living Trust offers benefits like avoiding probate and ensuring that your assets are managed according to your wishes.
Living Trusts
If you’re wondering whether a Revocable Living Trust is right for you or if you have questions about the benefits of jointly titled bank accounts, we can provide you with detailed, personalized answers. Our team of experienced attorneys is here to offer you the best advice based on your specific situation.
Medicaid Benefits
Our firm is knowledgeable about Medicaid benefits. We can explain how to best apply for Medicaid coverage, including any information
that details problems you have or assistance you may need with the activities of daily living (ADL’s), or other important factors that can help you qualify.
VA Benefits
I’m also a VA-accredited attorney. This designation allows me to assist veterans and their families with the Aid and Attendance (A&A) benefit, a valuable resource for those needing assistance with daily activities. Many people are unaware of this benefit, and we are here to provide clear and concise information on how to qualify and take advantage of it. At Mortellaro Law, we are dedicated to helping you secure your family’s future and ensure your estate plan aligns with your goals. In addition to the services, we just spoke about, we also provide services for:
• Powers of Attorney

Testimonial
The team at Motellaro Law was outstanding! Sarah was very helpful, thoroughly walking us through each step of the process and answering all our questions. I highly recommended this firm to all my friends and family for all their estate planning needs.
Michaelangelo Mortellaro is an exceptional attorney you can trust. We experienced nothing but the best trusted legal guidance and direction from the Mortellaro Law Firms’ staff. They handled our case with expertise and with the utmost professionalism and care in meeting our legal needs. The staff was always available to address our concerns and provided guidance you can count on. The paralegal staff is very competent and proactive in responding our issues and always delivered high-quality legal services that resulted in favorable outcomes.
The strengths of this practice in the areas of Estate Planning and Elder Law are invaluable. We are extremely pleased to have established a solid relationship with Mortellaro Law. The staff were both knowledgeable and accessible. Response times to our multiple questions was simply astonishing. It is a huge comfort for us to have this legal support by our sides. We’re so glad that we planned ahead and didn’t wait for a crisis before codifying our wishes in the appropriate legal documents.
We were in the midst of my mother-in-law's final health care crisis when the Director of her memory care facility recommended Mortellaro Law. My wife and I wanted to ensure her financial and healthcare matters were in the best possible order, and we feel Mr. Mortellaro gave us excellent advice and a clear path forward. The process has been easy, and Susan (our case Manager) has kept us informed every step along the way. We've trusted them with a big part of our personal financial future and they have not disappointed in any way. Thanks!
