Title & Due Diligence
We coordinate searches, insurance, and payoff statements while flagging issues early.
Ways to Give Through Your Estate
Bequests in a will are simple and effective. Charitable remainder trusts can provide income for a period of years or for life and direct the remainder to a charity. Charitable lead trusts can pay a charity first, then pass assets to family. Donor-advised funds and family foundations can centralize giving. If you are updating a will or trust, we can align your gifts with wills & trusts language that is easy to follow.
Charitable Trusts Explained
We outline how CRTs and CLTs work, what tax benefits may apply, and how to select trustees and beneficiaries. We also review funding choices like appreciated stock or real estate and how those choices affect income and timing.
Tax Benefits Explained Clearly
We explain deductions, estate tax interactions, and portability in New York terms. The goal is a plan that supports a cause and treats your family fairly. If your plan also addresses risk or long-term care, we can connect charitable goals with asset protection steps when appropriate.
Balancing Charity and Family Needs
You can support a cause and still provide for children and other beneficiaries. We compare options side by side so you can pick what feels right. When your goals evolve, we can adjust with updates to your estate planning documents and beneficiary forms.
