Will Attorney Financial District NY Residents Can Trust
You do not have weeks to spend on this, and you should not have to. In one focused session with a Financial District will attorney, you walk out with your will, healthcare proxy, and power of attorney handled, on clear flat fees, with no jargon and no open loops.
The core documents, done right, done quickly
Busy professionals do not need a drawn-out process, they need the essentials handled correctly. We build the foundation of every estate plan: a valid New York will, a durable power of attorney, and a healthcare proxy. Together they decide who inherits, who manages your finances if you cannot, and who makes medical decisions on your behalf.
Will, trust, or both
For many FiDi clients a clear will is enough. For others, holding equity, real estate, or wanting privacy, we add a trust so assets pass without the delay and public record of probate. We tell you honestly which you need rather than upselling a structure you do not. If concentrated assets or a future inheritance are in the picture, we also flag where asset protection planning belongs.
Built so probate is painless later
A will still has to be admitted to the Surrogate's Court after death, so we draft yours to make that step as smooth as possible for your executor, naming the right fiduciary, anticipating the New York filing, and keeping the document clean and uncontestable. The hour you spend now saves your family months later.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I really get my will, proxy, and POA done in one session?
For a straightforward estate, yes, we gather your information, prepare the documents, and walk you through signing with the proper New York formalities. More complex estates with trusts or tax planning take a bit longer, and we will tell you up front.
Do you charge flat fees?
For core estate planning packages we use clear flat fees so you know the cost before we begin. Complex matters are quoted in writing at the outset, no open-ended billing surprises.
Does my will still go through probate?
A will is admitted to the Surrogate's Court after death so the executor can be appointed and the estate settled. We draft your will to make that process as smooth as possible, and where you want to avoid probate for certain assets, we use a funded trust.
