Comprehensive Planning, Personalized for You How Can We Help?
Comprehensive Services
The foundational pieces of estate planning often include these:
Wills
A will is drawn up so that your assets are distributed according to your wishes after your passing. It also allows you to designate the executor who will be in charge of making sure your wishes are carried out, a guardian for minor children, and outline specific instructions for how your estate should be managed. Without a valid will, your estate may be handled according to the state of New York’s intestacy laws, which can often be very different from your personal preferences.
Trusts
Trusts are important tools for streamlining estate administration, protecting assets, and providing for children with special needs. Living trusts, whether revocable or irrevocable, help avoid the delays of probate. Special needs trusts offer long-term financial care for loved ones with disabilities. Trusts can also allow your resources to continue to benefit future generations.
Power of Attorney
A durable power of attorney gives someone you trust the authority to manage your financial affairs if you’re unable to do so. This critical document avoids delays during emergencies if you become incapacitated. A durable power of attorney with appropriate elder law provisions will allow the agent you choose to protect your financial interests should you need long term care during your incapacitation.
