Answers to your most common questions
Yes! If you want to decide who inherits your assets, who cares for your minor children, or how your affairs are handled after death or incapacity, you need an estate plan. A will or trust gives you control and peace of mind.
A will goes into effect only after you pass away and must go through court (probate). A trust takes effect right away, can avoid probate, and offers more privacy and control. Many people use both in their estate plan.
Probate is the court-supervised process of distributing your assets after death. It can be slow, public, and costly. A properly created trust can help your loved ones skip probate and settle your affairs more efficiently.
If you pass away without a will, New York's laws decide who gets your assets. This may not reflect your wishes, and it can create stress and conflict for your family.
You can, but it's risky. Estate planning isn't one-size-fits-all, especially in New York. Online forms often miss key protections and may not even be legally valid. I make sure your plan is done right the first time.
Yes, you do. A power of attorney lets someone you trust handle your finances if you can't. It's one of the most important documents in any estate plan and avoids court involvement if you become incapacitated.
A health care proxy lets you name someone to make medical decisions for you if you're unable to speak for yourself. It ensures your care aligns with your wishes and takes pressure off your loved ones during emergencies.
If you're over 18 and have assets, children, or people you care about, it's time to plan. Life is unpredictable, and estate planning isn't just for the wealthy or elderly.
A MAPT is a special trust that helps protect your home and savings from long-term care costs while preserving eligibility for Medicaid. It must be set up in advance, ideally at least 2.5 years before care is needed at home or 5 years before nursing home care.
You should review your plan every 3-5 years or after major life changes, like marriage, divorce, birth, retirement, or moving. I offer periodic check-ins to make sure your plan always fits your life.
It depends on your situation and the complexity of your plan. I offer a flat fee once I understand your needs. So, there are no surprises. I offer a Peace of Mind Planning Session to help you get started.
