Discuss your existing planOur approach
Michael A. Gorodetsky
Attorney & Founder
We explain your options, recommend an approach, and seek your input on the decisions that shape your estate plan—including who should act for you and whom you want to provide for.
Understand what a proposed document does, what it does not do, and why it may belong in your plan.
Your concerns, family circumstances, assets, and priorities shape our recommendations.
Consider how your will, trusts, financial authority, and healthcare instructions work together.
Start with your goals, state, and timing. Discuss the appropriate planning approach and agree on the work and fee before engaging the firm.
After engagement, work through your choices and review the proposed documents with explanations of how the pieces fit together.
Review the documents with clear explanations and complete the signing steps. Where your engagement includes a trust transfer or Medicaid application, we explain the additional work involved.
