Wills, Trusts & Estates

A good estate plan protects the people you love and spares them hard decisions later. When a loved one has passed, I take the probate paperwork off your hands so you can focus on your family.

Fees

Flat fees from $1,500

Timeline

Typically 3–5 weeks

Approach

Planning, drafting and administration

Free, confidential 20-minute first call

Estate planning is not only for the wealthy. Anyone with children, a home, savings or strong opinions about their care should have a will, a power of attorney and a health care proxy in place.

What I help with

  • Wills and revocable living trusts

  • Powers of attorney and health care proxies

  • Guardianship nominations for minor children

  • Probate and estate administration in New York and New Jersey

How it works

Planning usually takes three meetings: one to understand your family and goals, one to review drafts, and one to sign. For estates, I handle the court filings, notices and accounting from start to finish.

What it costs

Individual and couples’ estate plans are flat-fee matters, usually from $1,500. Estate administration is quoted after an initial review of the assets involved.
