Melville

A will is one of the most common ways people organize and distribute their assets following their death. Our legal team will walk you through the benefits of a will and other options available so you can make the right choice for your situation.

You can also distribute your assets through a trust establishment. Our attorneys can walk you through every type of trust and help you decide which ones will be in your best interest. We have experience working with:

• Living Trusts
• Special Needs Trusts
• Inheritance Protection Trusts
• Medicaid Asset Protection Trusts

Melville-area clients access our comprehensive elder law and estate planning services: Revocable and Irrevocable Trusts designed for Suffolk County families; Medicaid Asset Protection Trusts to shield family assets from long-term care costs; detailed Wills and Probate Administration; Powers of Attorney granting financial authority to trusted individuals; Healthcare Proxies and Living Wills honoring your medical wishes; Special Needs Trusts for disabled beneficiaries; Estate Tax Planning for tax-efficient wealth transfer; and Inheritance Protection Trusts safeguarding inheritances. We understand the Melville business community and serve entrepreneurs, professionals, and retirees. Our Lifetime Estate Planning Process ensures plans stay current with your life and the law—free reviews every three years.

Medicaid planning is core to our practice in Melville. We help families understand how to qualify for Medicaid benefits while protecting assets they want to preserve. We establish Medicaid Asset Protection Trusts years before care is needed; navigate complex Medicaid applications when care becomes urgent; explain the five-year look-back rule and transfer penalties; and structure assets according to New York law. We also discuss planning for Community Medicaid (home care aides) and Chronic Care Medicaid (nursing facilities). With thousands of successful cases and 35+ years of experience, our Melville office brings practical knowledge to help families make informed decisions.

Our Melville office is located in the Huntington Quadrangle business complex at 1 Huntington Quadrangle, Suite #1N9, Melville, NY 11747. Once parked in the north end of the lot – our office is in the North Lobby of Quadrangle 1, on the first floor. If you need an accessible path into the building/to avoid stairs, there is a red-brick garden path that leads from the crosswalk at the accessible parking spaces towards the middle of the building. Following the path towards the middle of the building is a little shorter and will lead to the Center Lobby doors – if you enter this way, turn right, and we are just behind the North Lobby sign. Following the other branch of the path will be a longer walk, but will have occasional seating built into the wall, and will lead to the North Lobby Doors – we will be just past the elevator from this direction. The shortest access from the parking is to follow the sidewalk, not the brick path, past the gates to the covered entry, though this route does require stairs. Hours are Monday–Thursday 9:00 AM – 5:00 PM and Friday 9:00 AM – 1:00 PM. If you’re unfamiliar with the location, call (631) 673-3777 for directions.
