The New York Will Lawyers at The Choi Law Firm Can Help You With All of the Steps Involved in Drafting, Writing, and Forming a Legally Binding Will and Trust
You must pay meticulous attention to details to ensure that your will, trust, and financial plan for your beneficiaries cover everything important to you and them. With sound legal advice, assistance, and guidance from our New York will lawyers, we will help you achieve a successful outcome for your will, trust, and family estate planning in New York.
Drafting a Will
To draft a will, you must be at least 18 years old and have the ability to understand the types of assets you have, their value, and the consequences of writing a will. The will also says who you are and names the person or group who will make sure your wishes are carried out. It also names your beneficiaries and what they will get. Once written, you must date and sign your will. Your signature must be witnessed by at least two individuals.
Setting up a Trust
To set up a trust, you must draft a trust document that identifies who you are, the property you want to include in the trust, the trustees that will manage the assets of the trust, the beneficiaries of the trust, and any terms pertaining to the payout of funds, income, or property from the trust to the beneficiaries.
When you sign a trust document, your signature should be witnessed by at least two people. Alternatively, it can be notarized. You can also have a bank account set up for the beneficiaries so that funds from the trust can be deposited in the names of the trustees.
How Our New York Will Lawyers Can Help
As mentioned above, it is important to have a skilled legal professional handle your will and trust needs because even the smallest oversights, inclusions, exclusions, or errors of other kinds such as typos and incorrect interpretation of the law can lead to serious issues after-the-fact. Your beneficiaries may end up disputing with each other instead of benefitting from the will or trust that you set up for their benefit, and these types of issues can take years and a considerable amount of money to resolve.
You must select seasoned New York will lawyers for your will and trust needs. Our trust attorneys in Queens County, NY will:
- Help you choose the best structure for your trust, based on your estate planning goals;
- Make sure you avoid acts or provisions in your will or trust that are against the law;
- Oversee the process of drafting, writing, signing, and finalizing the will or trust document so that it will be legally binding and enforceable by law;
- Guide you through everything you need to know about the process, from your legal rights and options to potential issues and corner cases that you may not have known about or even considered;
- Provide you with ongoing support even after your will or trust has been drafted or created, which includes regular reviews of your will, trust, and estate plan to make sure that they still comply with all applicable laws and accurately reflect your wishes.
