“Success isn’t about how many resources you have, but how resourceful you are.” This quote is a great reminder that taking action with what you have right now matters far more than waiting for the *perfect* moment.

Estate planning works the same way. You don't need to be wealthy or have everything perfectly organized to start. What matters is being resourceful enough to take the first step so your loved ones are protected and your wishes are clear.

If you're ready to put your resourcefulness to work, call or email us today to schedule a free consultation. We love helping each and every client each and every client craft the plan that best suits him/her.

Many New Yorkers own their own businesses -- are you one of them?

If you are a business owner, your business is likely one of your biggest assets and a major part of your legacy: you need an estate plan that clearly states what happens to that business if you pass away or become incapacitated.

Without a clear plan, everything from ownership to daily operations can be thrown into confusion if something happens to you. A thoughtful estate plan protects your business, supports your employees and ensures a smooth transition for the people who depend on it (and you).

If you want to make sure your business is fully protected and your wishes are carried out without disruption, schedule an initial consultation by calling or emailing the attorneys at Seward & Seward today.

As parents ourselves, we know that naming guardians for your children is one of the most important parts of your estate plan. Personally, I certainly do not want to contemplate the day when I might not be "around" for my son, but I know it will eventually happen. What happens if that day comes while he is still a child?

You can take steps now to help prepare in case that situation ever arises by creating a Will that names a guardian for your children.

You can start by choosing people you trust, who share your values and who can give your children the stability and care you’d want for them. Then talk with those people to make sure they’re willing to take on the role. Once you’re confident in your choice, contact us to create a Will that puts your decisions in writing, which will help ensure that there’s no confusion (and no court guessing) about your directives.

If you’re ready to make these decisions and want some help navigating the process, call or email us to schedule an initial (free) consultation. As a family-run firm, we know that nothing is more important than protecting your family!

Your estate plan should be as unique as your fingerprint. There’s no one-size-fits-all approach because your family dynamics, your goals, and your priorities aren’t the same as anyone else’s. A plan that works for your neighbor or your friend might not make sense for you at all. That’s why it’s so important to create something tailored to your life and the people you love.

A personalized plan makes sure your wishes are carried out exactly the way you intend and keeps your family from having to guess what you would’ve wanted. If you’re ready for an estate plan as unique as you, we’re here to help you build it.

What a game! Congratulations to the USA Men's Hockey Team and to all of the amazing athletes that competed in the 2026 Olympic Games!

These athletes were inspiring, courageous, and gracious. Their families, too, displayed all of these traits: understanding their athlete's dedication, long hours, and time out of the home.

Another aspect of the games is that they highlighted that family is not always "just" blood relations and spouses: the games showed us that family also includes those on your team. Team USA demonstrated its commitment to family when it brought Johnny Gaudreau's children out for the team's gold medal photo: family can be more than blood relations (though it is often that too!).

Who is part of your "family"? Who do you trust in times of joy and crisis?

When considering your estate plan, think of naming agents who will be there for you when circumstances are most difficult. These are the people who you should name as your agents. It could be your spouse, sibling, or parent, but it could be your friend or your "teammate".

Give us a call or send an email today to set up a free consultation to discuss who you think should be on your team, and let us help you create a plan that secures your future! When you plan, you help your whole team win!

If you’re young and healthy, it’s easy to think you don’t need an estate plan yet. But estate planning isn’t just for people later in life. It’s about making sure someone you trust can make decisions for you if something unexpected happens -- what if you have a medical emergency and need someone to help make decisions for you? Or what if you are traveling and need someone to access a bank account because you forgot about a payment? Unless you appoint someone to fill those roles, no one can act for you.

A little planning now can save your family a lot of stress and confusion if anything unforeseen occurs. Life happens fast, and having your documents (such as a power of attorney, health care proxy and Will) in place gives you control and peace of mind, no matter your age or situation.

If you’ve been putting off having your estate planning documents because you think it’s “too early,” don't delay any longer. Give us a call today and we can get started together.

You should not list your children as the beneficiaries on your life insurance policy if they are still minors. If something happens to you and a minor is named directly, the court will have to appoint someone to manage the funds until your child becomes an adult. That process can be costly, time consuming, and may put someone in charge whom you would not have chosen.

If you want to make sure your life insurance and other assets are set up the right way for your family (including for your children), call or email today to schedule an initial consultation with Seward & Seward. We are always happy to answer any and all questions -- helping you achieve peace of mind is our goal!

A Financial Power of Attorney and a Healthcare Proxy serve two very different but equally important roles.

A Financial Power of Attorney lets you name someone you trust to handle your money and property if you are unable to manage them yourself (whether due to diminished capacity, physical injury or illness). This can include paying bills, managing accounts or signing important documents.

A Healthcare Proxy allows you to choose the person who will make medical decisions for you if you cannot speak for yourself.

Having both documents in place is essential. Together, they ensure that the right people are empowered to step in and act according to your wishes during a difficult moment. Without them, your loved ones may be left unsure of what to do or forced to go through the court system for help.

If you want to make sure your bases are covered, schedule an initial consultation by calling or emailing us today.

We all know that it takes a lot of hard work to become a professional. And, if you are a doctor, lawyer, business owner, or work in finance, you are likely aware that you are considered a "high risk" professional, in that you have increased exposure to liabilities and lawsuits.

Understandably, you want to protect your family and your personal assets from any liabilities you may face, and asset protection should be a key part of your estate plan.

A well-structured estate plan can help shield your personal assets, safeguard your family’s future, and give you confidence that your hard work is protected from unexpected claims.

Whether you have an existing estate plan that you know should be reviewed or if you need to start from scratch, we are here for you! Give us a call today to schedule a free consultation to ensure your assets are secure and that your estate plan has the right protections in place.

Myth: Estate planning is more expensive than going through probate.

The truth is that a well-prepared estate plan almost always costs far less than the probate process. Probate can involve court fees, attorney fees, long delays and added stress for your loved ones. By planning ahead, you not only save money but also create clarity and peace of mind for the people you care about.
