Estate Planning

At the Sayegh Law firm, we offer legal services geared to the particular needs of each client. Among the Estate Planning tools we can prepare for our clients are a simple or a complex Will containing testamentary trusts, various types of stand-alone Trusts, springing or durable Powers of Attorney, health care proxies, and living wills, which can address concerns regarding asset protection, Medicaid, nursing home/assisted living planning, avoiding Guardianship and the avoidance of Probate for your designated beneficiaries. When a Guardianship cannot be avoided, our Trusts and Estates department can commence the appropriate Court proceedings for the appointment of a Guardian.

While a simple will and health care proxy may suffice to address a particular client’s needs, we offer sophisticated planning services including all aspects of estate planning, including Revocable Trusts, Irrevocable Trusts, QTIP Trusts, and Family Limited Partnerships for individuals and business owners. We are also available to review an existing estate plan to determine if it is still a viable method of achieving a client’s goals.

A family’s financial condition and our tax laws can change, all of which have a bearing upon an existing Trust, Will, Health care documents, and other estate planning tools. We suggest that our clients avail themselves of the opportunity to consider all of their options and, in conjunction with legal counsel, develop strategies best suited to satisfy their goals for the future. When it becomes necessary, whether or not simple or advanced estate planning techniques have been implemented, and even when a Will was never executed, we can provide legal counsel and the legal services associated with administering an individual’s estate.
