JONATHAN TROTTO: Probate is the process of bringing a will to Surrogate's Court and having Surrogate's Court appoint an executor to take care of someone's estate. A person's estate consists of all their assets that are in their name alone.
I recommend that everyone have a will. What a will does is to make sure that your property goes to who you want it to go to. A trust is another way of planning for your estate and planning for your family members. You can protect your assets from probate and from creditors by setting up a trust.
Every person should have an
estate plan. An estate plan just doesn't involve a will, it involves making sure the person has a power of attorney and a health care proxy. The will takes of you after you pass away. The power of attorney and the health care proxy takes care of you while you're alive.
Each client has their own individual needs and concerns and I make sure that I know what their needs and concerns are and take care of them to the best of my ability.
