Our Commitment To You
To provide personal attention, cost-effective, creative, prompt and strategic solutions for your estate
planning and elder law needs.
About Us
When I was 15, my father died of a heart attack. We lived in Brooklyn. My father had always taken care of the family finances, handing my mother cash each week to run the household. My mother was a very capable New York City school teacher, but having no experience budgeting, writing checks, reading business letters and financial statements together with the combination of losing her beloved Ed and having one child away at college and the other (me) at home, left her paralyzed with grief and fear.

WHAT WE DO FOR OUR CLIENTS
OUR SERVICES
Guardianships / Conservatorships
When a disabled child reaches 18 in NY, his parents can no longer make decisions for him. A Guardian and Conservator (GC) (who can be the parents) must be appointed to make decisions regarding the child’s welfare; to apply for benefits or to keep them in force, or to manage their money.

Estate Planning
ESTATE PLANNING & ASSET PROTECTION require the combination of different areas of law: federal and state taxes, property law, estate planning, business entities, Medicaid, Social Security, and retirement benefits to mention a few.
Probate & Settlement of the Estate
If someone dies with or without a Will and owns property in his own name with no designated beneficiary, the person named in the Will as the personal representative or executor, or the administrator (if there is no Will) must file with the Surrogate’s Court in NY to transfer the property to the proper person.
