The Lifetime Estate Planning Process™

Over the past twenty years, Ettinger Law Firm has reinvented estate planning by creating living plans rather than death plans. Living plans use a process that includes lifetime planning for long-term care, including protecting your assets from these costs, and continual monitoring of your plan for law changes as well as changes in the life of your family. As a result, your plan works when you need it, be it death or disability, unlike a will which not only fails to address issues of disability but not having been monitored during your lifetime, is often obsolete when the inevitable occurs.

Ettinger Law Firm's trademarked Four Pillars of Estate Planning™ program, based upon over 2,500 seminars and tested in over 10,000 estate plans, addresses all of the major issues you may face in disability, as well as those your family may face after death (such as avoiding probate proceedings, saving estate taxes and keeping your assets in the blood).

Elder Law and Medicaid

Having to place a loved one in a nursing home is an emotionally wrenching experience. To make matters worse, confusion often reigns supreme when navigating the Medicaid application process. Well-meaning family, friends and even professional advisers may give conflicting or incomplete advice causing families to needlessly lose their property and assets. Ettinger Law Firm can help you stop the guesswork. With over fifty years of combined Medicaid experience, we have successfully filed thousands of Medicaid applications throughout New York State.

Ettinger Law Firm offers free monthly seminars for the public on the topics of estate planning and elder law.

Settling an Estate and Probate

The sadness of losing a loved one is incomparable. Compassion and thoughtfulness are the keystones of our estate administration and probate settlement process. Ettinger Law Firm employs attorneys and paralegals specifically assigned to perform these tasks as quickly and as efficiently as possible. Estates are often settled in weeks or months instead of years, expediting funds to those heirs and surviving spouses who may need them sooner rather than later.
