Estate Planning & Divorce

Make Sure Your Estate Ends Up in the Right Hands

In the eyes of the law, you are legally married until a judge signs your final divorce decree. In the event you become disabled or pass away before your marriage is legally ended, your ex-spouse might have continuing rights to your estate. Normally, a spouse in New York has certain statutory estate rights. Fortunately, with sophisticated estate planning, there are often ways for you to ensure your estate ends up in the right hands – even before your divorce is finalized.

Apart from divorce, a properly drafted separation agreement can ensure someone other than your ex-partner will receive your estate in the event of your death or incapacitation. It can also possibly limit their rights as a beneficiary of your estate. Due to the complexity of estate planning issues that can arise during a divorce, it is best to work with an experienced lawyer.

    “Mediation Works!”
    Going through with our divorce was very difficult time for me and my ex husband. Finding the right lawyer was very confusing, frustrating and time consuming. I was very lucky to find Lois. She is professional and human at the same time. In a few sessions she answered all of our questions, gave us great advice and filled and filed all paperwork for us. Our divorce was finalized very quickly and thanks to Lois it was very smooth process. If my best friend would need a divorce lawyer I would recommend Lois without any reservations.!!! Christina C.

    “Wonderful Divorce Lawyer”
    My divorce was very stressful time. Since we were able to agree with my ex-husband on many important issues I originally thought that I will be able to fill in all the necessary documents by myself. It turned out that it is nearly impossible task. The amount of paperwork was overwhelming! I was not happy with some lawyers I've approached - too expensive, too impersonal, too aggressive. When I met Lois everything changed. For very reasonable price she was able to help us - talked to both of us, gave us great suggestions. Everything went extremely well. It was quick and painless. We could not thank her enough!
