Why This Matters

What Happens When You Don't Have a Plan?

Without proper estate planning, your family faces unnecessary stress, financial loss, and legal battles — often at the worst possible time.

The State Decides for You

Without a will, New York's intestacy laws determine who inherits your assets — not you. Your wishes go unheard, and unintended heirs may receive what you worked for.

Family Disputes & Probate Delays

Unclear or missing estate documents lead to costly probate proceedings and painful family conflicts — often dragging on for months or even years.

Avoidable Tax Burdens

Without strategic planning, your estate could lose a significant portion to estate taxes, leaving your family with far less than you intended.

Common Questions

Questions We Hear Every Day

If you're wondering, you're not alone. Here are the answers to what most families ask us.

How much does estate planning cost?

Costs vary based on your needs — a tailored plan is different from a complex trust structure. That's exactly what the free strategy call is for: we'll assess your situation and give you clear, upfront pricing before you commit to anything.

I'm not wealthy. Do I really need a will?

Yes — estate planning isn't just for the wealthy. If you have children, own any property, or have specific wishes about your care, a plan ensures those wishes are honored regardless of your estate's size.

How long does the process take?

Most plans are completed within a few weeks. Timing varies based on your unique situation — each case is customized. We always keep you informed every step of the way.

What's the difference between a will and a trust?

A will takes effect after you pass and goes through probate. A trust can take effect during your lifetime, avoids probate, and offers more control over how and when your assets are distributed. We'll help you determine which is right for you.

Can you help with Medicaid planning?

Absolutely. We help families navigate Medicaid eligibility, asset protection strategies, and long-term care planning to preserve your savings while qualifying for the benefits you need.

Do you serve clients in both New York and New Jersey?

Yes. We're fully licensed in both states with offices in Manhattan and Hackensack. We serve families across the five boroughs, Long Island, Westchester, and northern New Jersey.
