Preparation of Powers of AttorneyDrawing up a durable Power of Attorney (POA) is one way to make your financial and healthcare wishes known to your family in the event that you become incapacitated. Our New York estate planning attorney can help you draft a POA that respects your preferences, granting a trusted agent the authority to manage your financial affairs when you cannot. This document is essential for maintaining control over your finances. |
Crafting a Legally Binding Living WillAn advance directive, commonly known as a Living Will, lays out your wishes for end-of-life care. Preparing this document can help your family avoid painful discussions and difficult decisions regarding your medical treatment since your care wishes are already explicitly listed. We ensure your document clearly communicates your desires for life-sustaining treatments. |

 |
Designating a Health Care ProxyIf you become incapacitated, it’s crucial to have a trusted loved one making decisions regarding your health care. Our New York estate planning law office can assist in writing a health care proxy that names someone you trust as your agent if you are unable to advocate for yourself. This document gives your proxy the authority to make medical decisions based on your predetermined wishes. |
Guiding You Through Estate Administration
When a loved one passes, the legal process of settling their affairs—known as estate administration or probate—can be overwhelming. Our firm provides compassionate and experienced representation in Surrogate’s Court. We assist executors and administrators with asset inventory, debt settlement, tax filing, and the final distribution of the estate. Let us handle the complexities during this difficult time.
Understanding the Importance of GuardianshipFor parents with minor children or adults caring for incapacitated loved ones, naming a guardian is a critical component of estate planning. We help you designate a trusted individual to care for your children or manage the personal and financial affairs of an adult requiring supervision. This step provides immense peace of mind. |

Strategic Planning for Estate Tax MinimizationEffective estate planning involves strategies designed to reduce potential state and federal estate tax burdens on your heirs. We analyze your asset structure and net worth to determine optimal planning techniques, such as gifting strategies, specialized trusts (like GRATs or irrevocable life insurance trusts), and charitable donations. Proactive tax planning is essential to maximize the value transferred to your family. Contact Drucker & Mattia, PLLC to explore tax-efficient estate solutions. |
