Estate Planning

Queens Estate Planning Attorney

Contrary to many people's impressions, estate planning does not focus on planning for death. Rather, estate planning is a tool for comprehensive life care planning, family protection, asset protection, and clarification of health care preferences.

Take stock of your assets and your long-term financial goals. Discuss the estate planning tools most appropriate for your needs with an experienced lawyer. Contact Queens estate planning attorneys at the law offices of Gross & Levin, L.L.P., to schedule a consultation.

A place to start during your first office consultation is to evaluate any existing testamentary documents that you may already have, such as a will. We will also help you explore solutions you may not have thought of.

• Have any significant changes have taken place in your family and finances since you last updated your will?
• Have you considered other ways of transferring assets to the next generation, such as irrevocable trusts, revocable trusts, charitable trusts and special needs trusts?
• Do you understand the purpose of a pour-over will to complement your trust documents?
• Do you have a business succession plan that provides for all likely future scenarios with regard to your family business?

Our estate planning law practice was founded on the old-fashioned principle of honesty and open communication between attorney and client. Our lawyers continue this tradition today. We are a small enough law firm that we know our clients by name. A well-qualified legal staff including paralegals helps us maintain an efficient and detail-oriented law practice.
