Whether you have experienced the death of a family member or loved one, or need to update your existing Will or draft one for the first time, I can guide you through the process. Estate planning generally includes not only drafting a Will to provide for the orderly distribution of your assets to your intended beneficiaries, but also  a Durable Power of Attorney to appoint an agent to act on your behalf should you become disabled  or are  otherwise unable to act yourself, and also a Living Will/Advance Directive for Health Care setting forth instructions about the medical  treatment you want to receive should you become incapacitated.

Probate of a Last Will and Testament, estate administration and Guardianships are some of the proceedings overseen by the county Surrogates. Contrary to the process in many other states, estates can be, and often are, administered and closed out in a timely and efficient manner with the assistance of a knowledgeable and experienced estate administration attorney.
