The Latest in Elder Law and Special Needs

We are proud to announce that two of our esteemed estate planning attorneys, Louis Pierro and Peter Strauss, have recently published articles in the latest edition of the New York State Bar Association Elder Law and Special Needs Journal.

Lou’s article, “Demystifying Trust Protectors in New York: Building Flexibility Into Irrevocable Trusts,” was co-authored by attorney Britt Burner, and explores how trust protectors can add meaningful flexibility to otherwise irrevocable estate planning structures.

Peter’s article, “Medical Aid in Dying in New York: A New Right for Persons Near the End of Life,” examines the evolving legal landscape surrounding end-of-life decision-making in New York.

At Pierro, Connor & Strauss we remain committed to providing thoughtful analysis and practical guidance on complex elder law and estate planning issues, helping clients navigate with clarity and confidence.

Both articles are available now under "Journal Articles" here: https://www.pierrolaw.com/resources/

YOUTH LEADERSHIP AWARDS

Our founding partner, Louis Pierro, presented “The Louis A. Pierro Award” to a Columbia County high school senior who demonstrates strong leadership and community service skills. Students are nominated through their school administrators and guidance counselors. The Louis A. Pierro award winner is also presented with a $1,000 scholarship.

“Thanks to the Columbia County Youth Bureau for an excellent event recognizing outstanding high school seniors from all the schools in the county, and for honoring my father with the memorial Louis A Pierro Youth Leadership Award,” Lou said. “My dad dedicated his career to youth work, starting in FDR’s National Youth Administration and culminating with his service as Deputy Director of the NYS Division for Youth. He founded the County Youth Bureau, and continued to enrich the lives of local children throughout his life.”
