Fleischer and Kochberg provides professional expertise and advice regarding life and end-of-life issues such as the preparation of Last Wills and Testaments, Trusts, Living Wills and Powers of Attorney. Particular attention is paid to simplicity and efficiency of administration while ensuring that the client’s goals and objectives are met.

In the event of a death, Fleischer and Kochberg can assist with all legal aspects of the administration and distribution of an estate.

Every adult needs to have a legal will to designate any assets upon the event of their death. Your will is an opportunity to make a final caring statement through directions on the distribution of personal property and mementos, as well as arrange for the care of minor children.

If you become unable to handle your financial affairs, a durable power of attorney allows your designated representative to handle property issues and pay bills on your behalf. We can draft a durable power of attorney so that you know that your responsibilities and estate will be in good hands.

If you are no longer able to speak for yourself concerning your medical care, the instructions you leave in an advance medical directive will help family members and medical professionals make decisions that you would otherwise make for yourself.

Estate Planning

Depending on your particular situation, estate planning may involve more than writing a will. In addition to a will designating your beneficiaries and an advance medical directive concerning your health care, your estate plan may include trusts to shield your assets from taxes, establishment of a family trust for designated uses, or a guardianship to provide for a child. We can explain your options and help you provide for the future.

Business Succession Plans and Tax Planning For Individuals and Businesses

Any business organization should have a legally binding plan for succession after the death or incapacity of an owner or major stockholder. This plan preserves the financial assets of the business and assures a smooth transition. Our business and tax planning legal service will help you decide on the plan that is most appropriate for your business.
