FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Common Questions About Estate Planning in New York

You should start estate planning as soon as you have assets, dependents, or specific wishes for your healthcare and finances. Major life events such as marriage, the birth of a child, purchasing a home, or receiving an inheritance are all good reasons to create or update your estate plan.

A will takes effect after you pass away and goes through probate court. A trust can take effect during your lifetime, allows assets to pass directly to beneficiaries without probate, and provides greater privacy. An estate planning attorney can help you determine which option best fits your situation.

A power of attorney is a legal document that designates someone you trust to make financial or legal decisions on your behalf if you become incapacitated. Without one, your family may need to petition the court for guardianship, which is costly and time-consuming.

You should review your estate plan every 3 to 5 years, or whenever a major life change occurs such as marriage, divorce, the birth of a child, a significant change in assets, or a move to a new state. Regular reviews ensure your documents still reflect your wishes.

Yes, assets held in a properly funded revocable living trust pass directly to your beneficiaries without going through probate. This can save your family significant time, court costs, and legal fees while keeping your estate matters private.

Bring a list of your assets including real estate, bank accounts, retirement accounts, and life insurance policies. Also bring any existing estate planning documents such as a prior will, trust, or power of attorney, along with information about your beneficiaries and any specific wishes you have for your estate.
