Biography

Attorney Andrew Popp focuses his law practice on Elder Law and Estate Planning. He is results-oriented, relying on his exceptional legal knowledge and successful litigation techniques to achieve results.

Andrew obtained his bachelor’s degree from the University of South Florida. He then attended Stetson Law School, where he acquired his Juris Doctor with a concentration in advocacy.

While at Stetson, he received numerous awards, including the Doyle Conflict Resolution Inc. Top Grade Award and the Leadership Development certificate.

Upon graduation, Andrew served as an Assistant State Attorney. He handled criminal cases from initial investigation through trial and appeals and prosecuted hundreds of misdemeanor and felony cases. He gained extensive first and second chair trial experience in both bench and jury trials.

After leaving the prosecutor’s office, Andrew decided to dedicate his career to assisting clients with Elder Law Issues. Motivated by his passion for defending his clients’ interests, he acquired an in-depth knowledge of wills, trusts, probate, estates, and Medicaid planning.

Andrew is well versed in the various techniques available to protect his client’s assets from being taken away upon entering a nursing home.

He has seen far too many examples where families have waited too long to set their affairs in order, and the damage it can cause. He provides Ohio residents with advice on proper planning concerning their hard-earned assets.

Legal Answers
213 Questions Answered
Q. Can we (all parties agree) dissolve a revocable trust in Ohio after the deaths of our parents?
A: Not to give you the typical attorney answer, but it depends. While there are quite often ways to accomplish what you ask, nobody can say with certainty one way or another until he or she sits down and performs a more detailed analysis of the Trust as well as the surrounding facts and circumstances. I recommend finding a qualified attorney who can look over things for you and advise you.

Best of luck,
Q. Should all siblings STILL split the money from parents house that died if one sibling bought it???
A: Probate can be a messy and complex process. There are no simple answers to your question. A more detailed look at the specific circumstances would be needed to determine if the estate has been or is being administered properly. You may want to find a probate attorney who practices in the County where the Case is open to discuss.

Best of luck.
Q. How to best handle a small estate in Ohio, with only non Ohio heirs?
A: It sounds like the estate may qualify for a simplified proceeding to handle the vehicle. Unfortunately, a Court process is still involved. Depending on what estate documents are in place you may need to retain local counsel to handle the matter for you.

I recommend setting up a consultation with an attorney, (likely virtual due to distances), to discuss your circumstances in more detail.

Best of luck.
