A trust does not replace a Will—it works alongside one.

Trusts allow assets to pass to beneficiaries without going through probate, which means faster distribution, lower costs, and more privacy. Certain trusts can also provide asset protection, help manage estate tax exposure, and ensure that funds are distributed on your terms—not all at once.

The right trust structure depends on the size of your estate, your family situation, and your goals. The Law Office of Jason D. Jones, P.C. helps clients determine which approach fits.

Dying without a Will in New York means the state decides through intestacy law what happens to how your assets will be distributed.

New York's intestacy laws distribute your estate according to a fixed formula based on how closely you are related to someone —regardless of your actual wishes. A properly drafted Will restores control and places those decisions back in your hands.

The Law Office of Jason D. Jones, P.C. helps New Yorkers put a solid plan in place so that the state will work from your directions, not vice versa.

There is a new type of savings account is on the horizon for children—and parents should know the basics.

Trump Accounts are federally backed, tax-deferred investment accounts for children born between 2025 and 2028. The government contributes $1,000 at the start, and parents can add to the account over time. Funds can be used after the child turns 18 for such purposes as pursing an education, buying a first hom or starting a business.

These Accounts launch July 4, 2026—and like any financial tool, they come with rules worth understanding before you enroll.

The Law Office of Jason D. Jones, P.C is available to help families evaluate how Trump Accounts interact with their existing estate plan. Read more:

New York is an equitable distribution state regarding property distribution. This regime provides fair but not necessarily equal distribution of assets acquired by either spouse during the length of the marriage.

In dividing marital assets, New York courts consider factors including the length of the marriage, each spouse's income and earning capacity, contributions to the marriage (financial and otherwise), and the future financial circumstances of each party.

What this means in practice: outcomes in New York divorces are highly fact-specific and dependent on how a case is presented. Experienced legal representation is not a luxury in these proceedings—it is a material factor in obtaining a favorable result.

The Law Office of Jason D. Jones, P.C. represents clients in divorce proceedings across New York with a focus on protecting financial interests and reaching durable resolutions.

Divorce and legal separation are two different legal processes—and choosing the wrong one has lasting consequences.

A divorce legally ends a marriage. A separation agreement, on the other hand, establishes the rights and responsibilities of both spouses while the marriage remains legally intact. Some couples choose separation for religious reasons. Others use it as a structured step toward eventual divorce.

Neither path is one-size-fits-all. The Law Office of Jason D. Jones, P.C. can help you understand your options before you make a decision that cannot easily be undone.
