How we work:
Our Planning Process
Health Care Proxy
Executing a healthcare proxy involves our expert healthcare agents who can make efficient decisions on behalf of the testator. However, our agent will only take over after the testator becomes incapable of making decisions themselves. The testator can also choose their own health care proxy who will consider their values.
Durable and Financial Power of Attorney
A Power of Attorney is authorized to take decisions on behalf of the testator. As a financial agent gains authority after the POA is executed, our expert litigators can guide the POA and the testator about handling documents, assets, investments, and other financial matters. We can also help amend or revoke any document if the testator wishes to do so.
List Assets
Our Living Trust Long Island attorneys can help list the assets per the State law. We can help make a list of all properties, liabilities, assets, and debt so that nothing is left out of the final will.
Beneficiaries
At Living Trust, we ensure that beneficiaries are properly named in the final document with the corresponding assets written beside their name. We also take the responsibility of informing each beneficiary of their role.
Wills and Trusts
Our professionals can execute the documents by conveying clear instructions left by the testator. We will also ensure that the will of trust covers all provisions of guardianship, agent for the inherited assets, taxes, and debt management. Our attorneys will also help you review the will in a Probate court.
Storing Documents
To ensure the protection of the documents, we take the responsibility of storing and delivering the results according to the agreement with our clients. We can also help the testator in securing the document in a safe place that is fire and waterproof.
