FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Estate planning is the process of arranging for the management and distribution of your assets after your death or incapacitation. It involves creating legal documents such as wills, trusts, and powers of attorney to ensure that your wishes are carried out and your loved ones are provided for. Estate planning is essential for everyone, regardless of the size of your estate, as it allows you to control what happens to your assets and minimize the burden on your loved ones during an already difficult time.
If you die without a will, your estate will be distributed according to the intestacy laws of the state where you reside. This means that the court will determine how your assets are distributed, which may not align with your wishes. Additionally, dying without a will can lead to delays, additional expenses, and disputes among family members. By creating a will, you can ensure that your assets are distributed according to your wishes and minimize the potential for conflict among your heirs.
The probate process in New York can vary depending on the complexity of the estate, the presence of any disputes, and other factors. In general, probate typically takes between six months to two years to complete. However, certain factors, such as the need to sell real estate or resolve disputes, can prolong the process. Working with an experienced probate attorney can help expedite the probate process and ensure that it is completed as efficiently as possible.
Yes, it is possible to contest a will in New York under certain circumstances. Common reasons for contesting a will include allegations of undue influence, fraud, duress, or lack of testamentary capacity. Contesting a will can be a complex and emotionally charged process, so it’s important to consult with an experienced estate litigation attorney to discuss your options and determine the best course of action.
A living will, also known as an advance directive or healthcare directive, is a legal document that allows you to specify your wishes regarding medical treatment in the event that you become incapacitated and unable to communicate your preferences. It typically addresses issues such as life-sustaining treatment, resuscitation, and organ donation. Having a living will can provide peace of mind knowing that your healthcare preferences will be honored and can help prevent disputes among family members during a medical crisis.
It’s important to review and update your estate plan periodically to ensure that it remains current and aligned with your wishes and circumstances. Life events such as marriage, divorce, the birth of a child, or changes in financial status or health can impact your estate plan. As a general rule of thumb, it’s a good idea to review your estate plan every three to five years or whenever significant life changes occur.
An estate plan typically includes a variety of legal documents designed to address your specific needs and objectives. Common documents included in an estate plan may include a last will and testament, a revocable living trust, powers of attorney for finances and healthcare, and advance directives such as a living will or healthcare proxy. Your estate planning attorney can help you determine which documents are appropriate for your situation and ensure that your estate plan is comprehensive and effective.
While it is possible to create certain estate planning documents on your own using online templates or DIY kits, it’s generally advisable to work with an experienced estate planning attorney. Estate planning involves complex legal and financial considerations, and an attorney can provide valuable guidance and expertise to ensure that your estate plan is tailored to your specific needs and objectives. Additionally, working with an attorney can help minimize the risk of errors, oversights, and challenges to your estate plan down the road.
A will and a trust are both estate planning documents that allow you to specify how your assets will be distributed upon your death, but they serve different purposes and operate in different ways. A will is a legal document that outlines your wishes regarding the distribution of your assets and the appointment of guardians for minor children. It only takes effect upon your death and must go through the probate process, during which the court oversees the distribution of your assets.
 
In contrast, a trust is a legal arrangement in which you transfer ownership of your assets to a trustee to manage and distribute according to your instructions. Unlike a will, a trust can take effect during your lifetime or upon your death, depending on the type of trust. Trusts can offer several benefits, including avoiding probate, providing privacy, and allowing for more control over how and when your assets are distributed to your beneficiaries.
There are several strategies available to help minimize estate taxes and protect your estate for future generations. These may include gifting assets during your lifetime, establishing trusts such as irrevocable life insurance trusts (ILITs) or charitable trusts, and making use of estate tax exemptions and deductions. Working with an experienced estate planning attorney can help you explore your options and develop a comprehensive tax planning strategy that maximizes the value of your estate for your beneficiaries.
