Wills and Estates

Planning for your future and your family's future can often be daunting.  The needs of each family are different.  It is crucial to consult with a lawyer who will take your family's particular circumstances into consideration when planning for your future.  Estate planning is no longer only for the elderly.  Any one with assets, children, or others who depend on them for support can benefit from estate planning.  In addition to providing you with the piece of mind that comes from knowing your loved ones will be taken care of, having an estate plan in place will help reduce stress on your family members in the event that something happens to you.  We can assist you with any of the following matters:

• Executing a Last Will and Testament
• Creating a Health Care Proxy and Living Will
• Appointing a Power of Attorney
• Probate and Administration Proceedings
• Representing beneficiaries in Surrogate's Court proceedings
