Recently, team members from Hurwitz Fine’s Buffalo office partnered with Habitat for Humanity for a day of community service in Lackawanna, NY. Organized by the firm’s Wellness & Culture Committee, the volunteer event was part of Hurwitz Fine’s ongoing commitment to giving back to the community.

Throughout the day, team members took on a variety of hands-on construction tasks, including siding, framing, and other general construction work. Their efforts helped advance Habitat for Humanity’s mission of building safe, affordable homes for individuals and families in need.

Estate planning in New York is entering a new era. Beginning December 12, 2027, New York will recognize properly executed electronic wills, giving clients and families a modern option for documenting their wishes while preserving important safeguards against fraud, mistake, and uncertainty.

Although traditional paper wills will remain available, the Electronic Wills Act creates a new framework for signing, witnessing, storing, filing, proving, and revoking wills in electronic form. For clients, the law may eventually make estate planning more flexible and convenient—but only if its detailed requirements are followed carefully.

Hurwitz Fine Estate Planning Attorney Melissa Pezzino provides an update.

Last week, our attorneys from across the firm came together in Buffalo for two days of professional development, learning and connection at our Attorney Development Program.

The program offered an opportunity to step away from the day-to-day, learn from colleagues and guest speakers, exchange ideas and connect with one another outside of the office.

Thank you to everyone who presented, participated and helped make it a great two days!
