Attorney Karp had the pleasure of helping Lake Worth resident, Ms. Aino Rouvari, design her estate plan. Ms. Rouvari was eager to assist vulnerable children and disabled individuals. Sadly, Ms. Rouvari passed away in 2010, but her legacy lives on in the form of several bequests she made to local charities. As her Co-Trustee, Attorney Karp recently presented bequests from the Rouvari Trust to the following organizations:
