Questions
What estate planning documents do I really need?
Every adult should have a will, power of attorney, and healthcare proxy. We recommend trusts for asset protection and discuss these options during consultations.
How can Medicaid planning help with nursing home costs?
We analyze your financial situation to develop strategies for qualifying while protecting assets. Our plans consider both immediate needs and future care requirements.
Do you offer virtual consultations?
Yes, we provide online workshops and virtual meetings. Contact our office to schedule a remote consultation at your convenience.
What happens if I don't create an estate plan?
Without planning, state laws determine asset distribution. This can create difficulties for families and may not reflect your wishes regarding healthcare or guardianship.
How long does probate take in New York?
Typical probate takes 6-12 months depending on complexity. Our team streamlines the process by guiding executors through each required step efficiently.
