What Are Essential Estate Planning Documents in New York State?

Though a last will is commonly thought of as the foundation upon which every comprehensive estate plan is built, it is by no means the only estate planning tool that you should consider for yourself and your family members. Depending on your estate planning goals and family dynamics, various other documents may prove helpful to your estate plan. Remember, just because someone you know has certain types of estate planning documents does not mean that you would necessarily benefit from the same documents. Please contact our Bronx law firm to discuss your unique needs in a case evaluation.

Estate planning documents that may be helpful for your situation could include the following:

A durable power of attorney
A last will and testament
Advance healthcare directives
Inheritance protection trusts
Irrevocable trusts
Living wills
Medical power of attorney
Revocable living trusts
And more

What Type of Bankruptcy is Right for Your Needs?

Depending on your unique financial situation, we may recommend either Chapter 7 or Chapter 11 bankruptcy.

Chapter 7 bankruptcy is also known as the liquidation bankruptcy. This is the most common type of bankruptcy filing in New York. Chapter 7 bankruptcy gives debtors a fresh financial start by halting creditor collection efforts, delaying foreclosures, and discharging outstanding debts. Not all debts can be discharged or eliminated with Chapter 7 bankruptcy, but if you are having difficulties with expensive medical bills, costly personal loans, and credit card debt, you may wish to consider a Chapter 7 bankruptcy. The Chapter 7 bankruptcy process includes liquidating non-exempt assets to help pay off debts to creditors, so there exists the chance of losing ownership of certain assets if you opt for this type of bankruptcy filing.

Chapter 11 bankruptcy allows businesses to restructure their debt and remain in operation while the bankruptcy process is carried out. It can prevent creditors from taking action while the business creates a plan to repay debts. This plan must be approved by the court.
