Last Will And Testament

Proper planning through thoughtful dialogue with a qualified estate planning attorney can avoid the pitfalls of leaving your hard earned assets to be distributed by the probate courts. In a Last Will and Testament, you can define assets, name beneficiaries, assign guardians for your minor children, and appoint an executor to carry out your wishes. When considering estate planning, having a Will in place is the least you should do. However, an estate planning attorney might recommend other tools to help protect your assets and plan for long term care.

Trusts On Long Island

Trust funds are not just for the rich or famous. Trusts are common tools estate planning attorneys use to avoid probate and or protect assets from Medicaid. There are several options, including revocable and irrevocable trusts. A trust is funded with assets to provide probate avoidance and long term care planning benefits. Because the trust owns the property, it doesn’t have to go through probate and the beneficiaries receive their share right away. Your Estate Planning lawyer will discuss your options to protect your legacy and help you decide what type of trust is best for your situation.

Safeguard Your Finances With An Estate Plan

A power of attorney is called just that, a power of attorney for a reason. If you become incapacitated it’s important to have the right documents in place to help maintain and safeguard your finances, your children, and  pay your bills. If necessary this document allows your selected agent to make decisions on your behalf so that big life decisions are not left to chance.  If this document is not executed or not executed properly, it could trigger a lengthy court process.Creating a power of attorney as part of a thoughtful estate plan with the help of a qualified attorney can avoid confusion for those closest to you.
