Guardianship & Decision Making

Estate Planning

Estate Administration

We ensure individuals can make decisions when able. If someone can't manage their affairs, guardianship might be needed. Family members often apply for guardianship due to conditions like strokes, brain injuries, or mental illness.

Guardianship may also be necessary when a disabled child turns 18. We guide you through this process and offer support to make it manageable.

Protecting your family begins with careful planning. We review your entire estate and ask the right questions to create a plan that reflects your goals. Most plans include a Will, Durable Power of Attorney, and Advanced Directive, with some requiring a Trust. We're dedicated to helping you develop a comprehensive estate plan tailored to your family's needs.

Ready to start or grow your business? We guide you through selecting the right business structure, name search, and preparing key documents like articles of incorporation, by-laws, and organizational minutes. We also offer contract review and drafting, including customer agreements, waivers, and employment contracts. Let us handle the legal details, so you can focus on your business.

Losing a loved one is challenging. We treat clients with compassion and guide them through probate and trust administration. If there’s a Will, file the original with the Surrogate Court in the county of the deceased's residence. Without a Will, the next of kin must open an administration with the same court.

Estate administration includes gathering assets, paying debts, filing taxes, preparing accountings, and distributing assets. We offer support and guidance to make this process easier.

Special needs require careful planning. Estate plans for disabled children must protect their needs without risking government benefits. Inheritances or funds from insurance and retirement accounts can disqualify them from benefits, but a Special Needs Trust directs assets safely. For disabled adults receiving inheritances or settlements, a self-settled trust can preserve benefits. Court approval may be required, so an experienced attorney is essential.

We assist with screenings, evaluations, service eligibility, IEPs, placements, and dispute resolution, including mediation and due process. Contact us for support with your child's special education needs.

 As people grow older, their estate planning needs change. Elder law focuses on planning for future health care and potential physical or mental decline. It often involves advance directives, health-care proxies, durable powers of attorney, and long-term care planning. We help clients create comprehensive estate plans to ensure control over their future care.
