The Problem: What Happens Without an Estate Plan?

Many people put off estate planning because it feels overwhelming, but the risks of not having a plan in place are significant:

  • Intrusive and expensive Court Proceedings on who should take care of you if you become incapacitated.
  • Your family could face lengthy probate delays.
  • Your assets may be distributed according to New York State law, not your wishes.
  • Heirs may face disputes, causing tension within the family.
  • A significant portion of your estate could go to unnecessary taxes and fees.

Success Story: Protecting a Family’s Future

Recently, we worked with a couple who had accumulated significant assets over their lifetime, including a home and a small business. They were concerned about the impact of estate taxes and wanted to ensure their children were provided for if something happened to them. We updated their healthcare directives and power of attorney. We helped them create a Revocable Trust which helped them avoid probate, reduce estate tax, and ensured that their daughter in law, who they weren’t fond of, would not inherit their money that they wanted to leave to their son. Thanks to their comprehensive estate plan, their assets are secure, and their children are well provided for.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What happens if I die without a will?

A: If you die without a will, your estate will be distributed according to New York’s intestacy laws, which may not align with your wishes. This can also lead to delays and complications in the estate administration process.

Q: What is the difference between a will and a trust?

A: A will outlines how your assets will be distributed after your death, while a trust allows you to transfer your assets during your lifetime or after your death while avoiding probate. Trusts can also help reduce taxes and protect your assets from creditors.
