When it comes to your assets, planning ahead is the best strategy. It is important to talk with your lawyer about documents like your will or power of attorney long before you might need them.

Powers of attorney give someone the authority to manage important business matters for you. Many people use powers of attorney for their finances, giving their loved ones access to their bank accounts so that bills can still be paid in the event of an emergency.

At our Cairo, New York, law firm, we start estate planning by having a conversation with our clients. We talk with them about their families, their assets and their goals. Then, we tailor an estate plan to meet their needs.

Probate Attorney

When a family member has passed away, assets must be distributed from his or her estate. Each situation is different. Generally, the estate can be either what lawyers call "testate," meaning with a will, or it can be "intestate," meaning without a will.

At Esslie & Frenia, P.C., we use years of experience to guide clients through the probate process.

Wills And Other Estate Planning Documents.

If you do not have a will, New York state law will determine how your assets are distributed after you pass away. Things might not go to the people intended, which can sometimes cause family infighting. If you do not have a health care proxy, you might not receive medical care that is in line with your beliefs.

At Esslie & Frenia, P.C., we help our clients avoid these serious consequences by protecting their assets through the creation of complete estate plans. A complete estate plan is more than just a will. It can include a trust, power of attorney or health care proxy as well.
