Nassau Suffolk County Wills and Estates Lawyers Attorneys Queens Long Island NY

A will is a legal document through which the author can give away any property the author owns after his/her death. In a will one can also determine guardians who will look after one’s minor children, establish trusts for one’s children's benefit and reduce or eliminate federal estate taxes. Estates include all the property that a person owns at the time of his/her death.

In the U.S. it is typical for all people regardless their age, marital status or amount of personal assets to have a will, because it ensures that all your property will be properly distributed between all your legatees. Even people that have living trusts should consider preparing a will, because, without a will, any property not named in the living trust will pass according to state law, not necessarily in accordance with a person's wishes.

When making a will, it is recommended that you consult a qualified Trusts and Estates attorney to exclude any possibility of errors, which can result in your will being declared invalid.
