Guardianship
An adult guardianship can form an effective legal tool that family members use to protect adults with special needs. But adult guardianships are not appropriate for every situation, and other legal tools may form a more appropriate means of meeting a family’s goals. Other family members and friends with legal standing to do so can also challenge adult guardianships. By accessing the legal advice of an experienced guardianship attorney, New York families can use the right legal tools for adults with special needs, and protect their guardianships from legal challenges. The highly skilled attorneys at Goldfarb Abrandt Salzman & Kutzin have decades of experience in connecting New Yorkers with the legal tools they need to enact effective and binding adult guardianships.

Personal Injury
Eligibility for these programs is typically asset-based, and special needs individuals with even a modest inheritance or personal injury settlement or award may be disqualif
Auto Accidents
Medicaid Planning
Sometimes, later in life, people must receive care at a nursing home or other long-term care facility. If you did not include Medicaid planning as part of your estate planning, you may be putting your assets at risk.

Trusts and Estates

Estate Planning
Estate planning documents do not only apply to what happens after death. Many aspects of a comprehensive estate plan address what happens if you become incapacitated for a period of time. You want to ensure that you have a trusted representative by your side, making decisions for you as you would have made yourself. In order to ensure this scenario, you should discuss drafting advance directives with an experienced elder law attorney.
Wills
New York probate litigation is the process whereby someone contests one or more provisions of the decedent’s last will and testament, a codicil (i.e., a document which subtracts from, adds to, or somehow changes the decedent’s will), or the executor’s appointment.
Trusts
Medicaid does examine your assets and any recent asset transfers to determine eligibility, though some assets are not counted for this purpose, such as assets in a MAPT. This type of trust can shield your assets from Medicaid, allowing you to preserve them to pass on to your family. A MAPT is an irrevocable trust, so once you transfer assets to the trust ownership, you cannot under most circumstances transfer them back. But once the trust owns your assets, Medicaid cannot count it as an asset you own or that may be seized to cover your costs. Once you pass away, the successor trustee will distribute the assets to your beneficiaries in accordance with your wishes.
Power of Attorney
Advance directives are actually legal documents that each serves its own purpose in advising others of your wishes for handling your financial affairs and for medical and end-of-life care. The following is a brief description of Medical Advance Directives. There are also financial directives called Powers of Attorney that are not discussed here. To discuss them in more detail, contact our office directly.
Probate
Many people call us wondering if they need to retain an attorney to remove an executor. Of course, everyone is free to represent themselves in probate court, so there is no legal requirement that you retain a lawyer in order to petition the court to remove an executor. That said, New York estate and probate law is extremely complicated and you can significantly improve the chances of obtaining a favorable outcome by retaining an experienced attorney. Some of the ways that a lawyer can help you if you are seeking to remove the executor of a will in which you have an interest include the following...

Bankruptcy
Tax Law
We also represent fiduciaries (executors and administrators) and beneficiaries in kinship proceedings, postmortem estate and income tax planning, including disclaimer planning, representation in the sale of estate real property, and cooperative and condominium apartments.
