Elder Law State Planning
At Ettinger Law Firm, we combine elder law and estate planning to provide a comprehensive approach to the needs of each client and their family. Planning wise, we usually recommend trusts to avoid probate proceedings at death and to provide for substitute decision making in the event of disability.
Estate Administration and Probate
Probate is the legal procedure 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. Then distribution of the remainder to the persons named in a will, or to the legal heirs if there is no will.

Living Trusts
Generally superior to a will for transferring assets to heirs at death. Trusts avoid probate court proceedings needed to settle will and often save the family time and expense in closing the estate. The living trust also helps avoid a court taking over control of your assets if you become disabled.

Medicaid Strategies
Confusion often reigns supreme when navigating the Medicaid application process. Well-meaning family, friends, and even professional advisers may give conflicting or incomplete advice causing families to needlessly lose their property and assets.

Special Needs Trusts
Parents or grandparents of a disabled child should leave assets to them in a special needs trust, to avoid the child being disqualified from receiving government benefits, such as SSI and Medicaid. Before the protection now afforded by these trusts, parents would disinherit their disabled child.

Wills
A Will, also known as Last Will and Testament is used to state formally who you want to receive your estate and to name an Executor to settle your affairs. Wills are especially important if you have children, to state at what ages they should receive an inheritance and who will manage it for them.

We were thinking for while to make trust, but we had no knowledge, which trust is good for us, so we attend free seminar and meet Danielle Becker Attorney at Ettinger firm, she explained us everything so less than a month ago we made our trust. She is very helpful and explained everything to us, we are satisfied and very happy with their service. They are specialized in making trust.
