Darby and Bella

Darby Jones

I am a professional fiduciary with almost 25 years of experience serving in a wide variety of fiduciary capacities such as Corporate Trustee, Individual Trustee, Power of Attorney, Healthcare Surrogate, Personal Representative, Executor, and Guardian.

Before my private fiduciary career, I received my J.D. from Washington College of Law and worked as an estate planning attorney, a Trust Officer, and Bank Vice President for financial institutions. 

I now want to share my experiences and expertise with those of you who may need support, creative ideas, and solutions for navigating your responsibilities - while trying to keep everyone happy and maintain your sanity along the way!

For example, I often hear, “What if my kids want to put me in one of those places”, or “what if I need help and I don’t have anyone”, or “what if my spouse gets dementia and won’t give up control of the finances?” or “how do I avoid being a burden on my family?” or “who is going to take care of my stuff when I die”?

As a Professional Fiduciary and current President of the Professional Fiduciary Council of Florida, former Trust Officer, and former estate planning attorney, I hope to share valuable tips, tricks, and tools to give you confidence, real solutions, and peace in your journey.
