Representing Testators and Executors
Creating a Last Will and Testament, along with essential estate planning documents such as trusts, powers of attorney, healthcare proxies, and living wills, ensures that your wishes are honored and your loved ones are protected. Without a proper estate plan, state law—not you—will determine how your assets are distributed.
Why Estate Planning Matters
✔️ Control Your Assets – Decide exactly how your estate is managed and distributed.
✔️ Protect Your Loved Ones – Prevent legal disputes and unnecessary financial burdens.
✔️ Avoid Probate Delays – Ensure a smooth transition of assets to heirs.
✔️ Appoint Trusted Decision-Makers – Establish powers of attorney and healthcare proxies to make medical and financial decisions if you become incapacitated.
✔️ Minimize Taxes & Costs – Use trusts and strategic planning to reduce estate taxes and preserve wealth.

Guiding Executors Through the Probate Process
If you’ve been named the executor of a loved one’s estate, you have the legal responsibility of managing their assets, settling debts, and distributing inheritances according to their Last Will and Testament. The probate process can be complex, time-consuming, and emotionally overwhelming—but you don’t have to handle it alone.
What Does an Executor Do?
As an executor, you are responsible for:
✔️ Filing the will with the Surrogate’s Court to begin probate proceedings
✔️ Notifying heirs, beneficiaries, and creditors
✔️ Managing and protecting estate assets during probate
✔️ Paying outstanding debts, taxes, and expenses
✔️ Distributing assets to beneficiaries according to the will
✔️ Handling disputes or legal challenges to the estate

Living Will
A Living Will is a legal document that ensures your medical wishes are honored if you become unable to communicate them yourself. It outlines the types of treatments and life-sustaining measures you want—or don’t want—if there is little or no chance of recovery, giving you control over your healthcare decisions and peace of mind for your loved ones.
Power of Attorney
A Power of Attorney is a legal document that grants a trusted relative or friend (your Agent) the authority to manage your financial and legal affairs if you become ill, incapacitated, or unable to act on your own. This ensures that important decisions—such as paying bills, managing assets, and handling legal matters—are made according to your best interests.
Healthcare Proxy
A Healthcare Proxy is a legal document that designates a trusted relative or friend (your Agent) to make medical decisions on your behalf if you become too ill or incapacitated to communicate your wishes. This ensures that your healthcare choices are honored and that critical decisions are made by someone who understands your values and preferences.
