The Surprising Connection Between Men’s Health and Estate Planning

Mondays for Moms: Why shouldn't I do estate planning myself? In doing this full time and going through the ins and outs with a lot of families, what I can tell you for sure is that there are questions you would not have even known to ask. That's actually the most common feedback from clients and from those who attend our free talks and webinars, is that they had to think through things that they hadn't even thought about before, and that they were really comforted in knowing that those questions were explored, and that those answers were ultimately put into their estate plans. So that way everything is covered, no stone goes unturned, as one client actually said about our process. I really encourage you to take the approach of its really about the professional advice and the real peace of mind you get by sitting down and talking through questions. It's not just a matter of signing a document. If that's all it was, I would send you to LegalZoom, but there's really a whole lot more to your future, your children's future and your legacy than just a fill in the blank document.

To learn more about our process, and how we approach estate planning from a place of heart, schedule a complimentary call with The Law Office of Melissa L. Carvajal, PC at (631) 371-3861 or use the link below to schedule a consultation.

Mondays for Moms: FAQ: What if you pass away without a will? In New York State, if you pass away with no will in place, New York State law fills in the gaps. So New York State law dictates who gets what if you haven't clarified in a will- meaning who your heirs and beneficiaries are. In New York, a surviving spouse is not the only heir, your spouse and your children would be your primary heirs, which is a nightmare if your kids are minors. It can get really tricky, if you have a blended family, or whether you or the surviving spouse have children from a different relationship. Because the numbers get a little tricky, and don't just go flat out 100%, or in equal shares in that case. So even though New York law can fill in some gaps, it might be different from what you would want. And it also doesn't clarify who oversees the assets left to a minor, or an incapacitated beneficiary. You really need to lay out the plan you want and who you want to oversee handling your affairs.
