Estate Planning & Trusts
Estate planning is more than preparing legal documents. A thoughtful estate plan should coordinate your assets, family circumstances, beneficiary designations, property ownership, business interests and long-term goals.
At Mahover Law, we develop customized estate plans for individuals and families at different stages of life and with a wide range of family dynamics. Our planning may include wills, revocable and irrevocable trusts, powers of attorney, health care directives and strategies for the ownership and transfer of assets.
We regularly work with clients navigating circumstances such as second marriages, blended families, unmarried partnerships, LGBTQ+ families, children from prior relationships, business ownership and multi-generational planning.
Our goal is to create an estate plan that works as a cohesive whole—not simply a collection of individual documents.
Advanced Estate & Succession Planning
For clients with more complex assets, family circumstances or business interests, estate planning often requires collaboration beyond the attorney’s office.
Mahover Law works collaboratively with clients’ financial advisors, accountants, CPAs, insurance professionals and other trusted advisors to develop and implement an estate plan that aligns the legal, financial and tax components of the client’s overall strategy.
Advanced planning may involve trusts, business ownership interests, real estate, beneficiary designations, succession planning and strategies for transferring wealth or business interests to the next generation.
For business owners and families with closely held businesses, we also help address an important question: What happens to the business when you are no longer here or no longer running it?
Succession planning can coordinate a client’s estate plan with existing business agreements, ownership structure and long-term goals so that the transition of both wealth and responsibility is considered as part of the overall plan.
Probate & Estate Administration
Probate and estate administration can be legally complex and time-consuming, particularly when an estate involves substantial assets, real property, multiple beneficiaries or distributees, unusual family circumstances, creditor issues or other complications.
Mahover Law represents executors, administrators, beneficiaries and families throughout the probate and estate administration process, from the initial Surrogate’s Court filing through the collection and administration of estate assets and ultimate distribution of the estate.
Our firm has handled probate and administration matters in New York City Surrogate’s Courts and throughout the Lower Hudson Valley, including Westchester, Dutchess and Orange Counties and the Bronx.
We assist with matters ranging from straightforward probate and administration proceedings to more complex estates involving issues such as:
- Multiple or difficult-to-locate distributees
- Complex family trees and heirship issues
- Lost or unavailable original wills
- Multiple fiduciaries
- Estate real property
- Business and financial assets
- Beneficiaries residing outside the United States
- Court-required affidavits and supplemental proceedings
- Estate distributions, receipts and releases
- Fiduciary and beneficiary issues
Our goal is to guide clients through each stage of the administration while helping move the estate toward an efficient and orderly resolution.
