What Our Staten Island Lawyers Practice

We act as elder law estate planning attorneys, drafting advanced directives such as power of attorney forms and healthcare proxies and living will, wills and trusts as well as Medicaid Planning and Estate Administration and Probate. Our dedicated team of legal professionals also works to keep our clients’ estate plans updated with our trademarked Lifetime Estate Planning Process. Discover the areas we support our clients in and feel confident in letting us take the reins on your legacy. Our client relationships span decades.

Unfortunately, many people die without a valid estate plan because they are reluctant to discuss their property and finances with “strangers.” Others procrastinate, then die prematurely, or cite cost as the thing that keeps them from moving forward. However, having an estate plan can give you peace of mind that your assets will be handled according to your wishes. Let your loved ones rest assured that everything is taken care of when it matters most.

Our Staten Island lawyers and paralegals also take care of estate administration and probate. Probate is the legal proceeding in which the probate court assumes jurisdiction over the assets of someone who has died. The court supervises the payment of debts, taxes, and probate fees, and then supervises the distribution of the remainder to the persons named in a will, or to the legal heirs if there is no will.

A will ensures that your assets are distributed in whatever way you want them to be. Without one, these decisions can be left up to the state and prevent your loved ones from receiving cherished parts of your history. Ettinger Law Firm attorneys work with you to solidify your plans.

Medicaid plays an essential role in the lives of many older adults, especially as they start to need additional assistance in the form of a home healthcare aides or a long-term care facility. Ettinger Law Firm will assist you in filing a Medicaid application and help protect your home and life savings with our Medicaid strategies. including gift and loan strategies and spousal refusal.
