Our Long Island lawyers regularly draft estate plans for estates of all sizes, including wills, trusts, durable powers of attorney, and health care documents, such as living wills, health care directives. We focus on tax laws as they relate to estates, and work with our clients to make sure we minimize estate tax burdens to the best extent possible.

Everyone should have a will.

If you die without an estate plan, your estate may not be divided according to your wishes, and your heirs will face unnecessary expense and delay in the probate process. Furthermore, without a proper estate plan, it is possible that your estate may even revert back to the state.

Our estate planning attorneys can help you make sure that your assets are distributed to the people or charities of your choosing. We help our clients draft wills and simple trusts to plan for the proper distribution of their assets in New York State following their death.

Probate matters

The legal process that follows the death of an individual is generally referred to as the probate process. At the Law Office of John Fazzini, in addition to will preparation, we also do a significant amount of probate work.

It is during this probate process where the last will and testament is presented to the Probate Court, that the individuals designated within the will are appointed executors of the estate, the assets of the estate are collected, and the final bills and transfers detailed within the will are completed.

Depending upon the value and complexity of the assets, the duration of the probate process can be anywhere from one to three years. A trustworthy probate attorney can be a valuable ally and source of practical help through the entire probate administration process.
