New London Connecticut Estate Planning Lawyer

One of the most caring things you can do for those you will someday leave behind is to prepare a will, living will/advance medical directive and durable power-of-attorney. Through those essential estate planning tools, you provide your loved ones and the courts with direction concerning management of your affairs and your health, if you are not able to make decisions for yourself. Understanding the tax implications of certain laws governing inheritance, Medicaid look-back penalties on elder law issues, and how a business continuity plan can help your company are essential when planning an estate. At Suisman Shapiro in New London, estate planning lawyers Lawrence Greenberg and Jeanette Dostie help clients identify goals and prepare estate plans that protect and reassure their families.

We understand how to help our clients secure the financial future of their families and loved ones. To learn how we can help you, contact New London estate planning attorneys at Suisman Shapiro today.

Our office represents clients in regard to the following estate planning issues:

• Simple wills
• Healthcare directives
• Special needs trusts
• Revocable/irrevocable trusts
• Testamentary trusts
• Immediate annuities
• Reallocation of assets
• Transfer of home title
• Medicaid eligibility
• Charitable remainder
• Probate

For those whose estates or responsibilities indicate a more complex plan, our attorneys will design and draft revocable trusts, irrevocable trusts, special needs trusts and instruments designed to provide for the client's needs in the event of their disability. Our practice also includes probate law and estate administration.

Our attorneys can also assist the adult children of elderly parents in elder law issues. Since Medicare does not cover long-term healthcare needs, qualifying for Medicaid is often the only source of medical coverage for elderly Americans. Our attorneys work with elderly people and their families in creating estate plans that qualify an elderly person for Medicaid without forcing him or her to spend down their assets.

In addition to estate planning, probate and estate administration this team of lawyers provides business law services. We help families develop succession plans for small businesses. If you have questions or need additional information regarding estate planning issues, contact the law office of Suisman Shapiro and schedule an appointment to learn how we can help you.
