Our Story

Wakulla Legacy was born from a simple observation: our community needed quality estate planning services without the drive to Tallahassee. As a division of Gellis Law, PLLC, we focus exclusively on helping Wakulla County residents protect what matters most through accessible, affordable estate planning.

Five years ago, I made the decision to leave the bustle of Tallahassee behind and make Wakulla County my home. Like many of you, I was drawn to our unique coastal community—where morning fog lifts off Wakulla Springs, where neighbors still wave to each other at local businesses, and where generations of families have built their lives along our pristine coastline.

While my primary practice at Gellis Law has focused on complex technology and regulatory matters, I repeatedly heard from neighbors and friends in Wakulla who struggled to find local estate planning help. Too often, I saw fellow Wakulla residents having to take time off work to drive to Tallahassee for basic legal services or, worse, not getting these essential documents in place at all.

Wakulla Legacy was created to change that.

Our Approach

At Wakulla Legacy, we believe estate planning shouldn’t be complicated, intimidating, or require leaving the county. Our approach is built on three core principles:

Accessibility

We offer convenient meeting options throughout Wakulla County—at our office, your home, or even local coffee shops. Evening and weekend appointments accommodate working families, and clear, flat-fee pricing ensures no surprises.

Local Understanding

Our deep roots in Wakulla County provide unique insight into the needs of our neighbors. From waterfront property considerations to understanding the local business landscape, we bring a hometown perspective to every client relationship.

Straightforward Guidance

We explain legal concepts in plain language, not complex legalese. You’ll leave every conversation with a clear understanding of your options and a plan tailored to your specific needs.
