Estate Planning Services (Living Trusts, Wills, Powers of Attorney, Living Wills, Health Care Proxies)
Estate Planning is as complex and varied as the people it serves. Proper planning must take into account a number of objectives: Wealth preservation and asset protection; avoidance of probate; elimination or reduction of estate taxes and management of affairs in the event of illness or incapacity. Our Nassau County Estate Planning Lawyers offer a complimentary consultation to prospective clients to advise on various estate planning issues and options including drafting of a Last Will and Testament, Living Trust, New York State Healthcare Proxy and a Living Will. We usually quote a flat fee for the legal work associated with your chosen plan.
You have worked hard all your life to accumulate personal assets and we want to ensure that you pass on your legacy to you family, at the right time and in the manner you desire, rather than have your hard-earned assets be consumed by New York and federal estate taxes, creditors, predators and probate expenses.
