Secure Your Legacy with Thoughtful Planning
Planning for the future is one of the most important steps you can take to protect your loved ones and ensure your wishes are honored. At the Law Office of Nina Khaimova, P.C., we provide comprehensive estate planning services tailored to the unique needs of individuals and families in Queens, Manhattan, Brooklyn, and Nassau County. We understand that estate planning can be complex and often emotionally charged, and we are dedicated to providing compassionate guidance and expert legal counsel every step of the way.
Our Estate Planning Services
We offer a full range of estate planning services to help you create a comprehensive plan that reflects your values, protects your assets, and provides peace of mind for you and your family. Our services include:
Wills
A will is a fundamental estate planning document that outlines how you want your assets distributed after your death. We help you draft a clear and legally sound will that reflects your wishes and decisions.
Trusts
Trusts offer a variety of benefits, including avoiding probate, minimizing estate taxes, and providing for the management of assets for beneficiaries. We can help you establish various types of trusts, such as revocable living trusts, irrevocable trusts, and special needs trusts, depending on your specific needs and goals.
Powers of Attorney
A power of attorney designates someone you trust to make financial decisions on your behalf. We can help you create a power of attorney that is effective if ever needed.
Health Care Directives
(Living Wills and Health Care Proxies)
These documents allow you to express your wishes regarding medical treatment in the event you are unable to make decisions for yourself. A living will outlines your preferences for end-of-life care, while a health care proxy designates someone to make medical decisions on your behalf.
Guardianship Designations
If you have minor children, it is crucial to designate a guardian to care for them in the event of your death to avoid unnecessary court proceedings.
Estate Tax Planning
We can help you develop strategies to minimize or eliminate federal and New York estate taxes, preserving more of your wealth for your beneficiaries.
The Probate and Administration Connection
We understand that estate planning and probate are intrinsically linked. Probate, the legal process of validating a will and distributing assets, can be complex, time-consuming, and costly. Our team focuses on designing estate plans that minimize the need for probate.
When there is no estate plan in place, we streamline the process of administration to ensure a smooth and efficient transition for your beneficiaries, providing them with peace of mind during a difficult time.
