Law Offices of Sheldon J. Eskin put together effective Estate plans.

Well-crafted estate plans frequently involve multiple instruments to capture concerns related to inheritance, tax savings, financial stability, and end-of-life issues. Trusts, wills, healthcare directives and powers of attorney are documents commonly used in estate plans. Failure to include the right legal instruments can create unnecessary complications for your family. For example, pour-over wills catch any property that is inadvertently left out of a trust, which could smooth over the process of probate. We will provide a comprehensive analysis of your situation and recommend the best estate plan to reach your goals.

Our reliable law firm manages your affairs using Living and Supplemental Trusts.

We help you to understand which of these documents is necessary and how to execute them.

Knowledgeable advisers help prepare living wills and other advance directives.

As a person’s life draws to an end, a number of complex and sensitive decisions must be made about medical care and finances. Unfortunately, not everyone is in a position to make these choices due to mental and/or physical decline. However, you can tackle these concerns ahead of time using living wills and advanced healthcare directives like powers of attorney documents.

These options are all part of the well-rounded estate plan we will help you put together to keep you well-protected and secure.
