Estate Planning
Whether you require a standard or sophisticated estate plan, whether you intend to provide for your "bio" or "chosen" family, we will guide you through the process step by step. If you fail to have an estate plan, NY state will impose its own laws to control your legacy which often produces unwanted outcomes.

Probate Proceedings
If you pass away with a Will with probate assets in your individual name, it must be probated in the Surrogate's Court in the county where you lived. During the probate process, the Surrogate will determine the validity of the submitted Will. If the Will is declared valid, then the Surrogate will issue a Decree Granting Probate and absent extraordinary circumstances, will appoint your nominated fiduciaries to handle your estate in the manner you set forth in your Will. We have worked closely for over a decade with all NYC metro area Surrogate's Courts in order to streamline this complex and time consuming process for our clients.

Trust Settlement
Trusts are user-friendly Will substitutes that have gained popularity during the last three decades in NY. No longer just for high net worth individuals, trusts allow you to transfer all selected assets for ultimate distribution to your selected beneficiaries once you pass away and the trust terms become fixed. Trusts offer an additional benefit in that they do not need to be probated by the court. As a result, there is a seamless transition of assets and authority, respectively, to beneficiaries and trustees.
