Protecting Your Estate
Whether you have high-value assets, a valuable property, or other extremely valuable assets, it is important to protect your estate. The best way to protect your estate is with a will and estate plan. Estate plans often include a will which is a document that contains your exact wishes for your estate and beneficiaries after death.
A will sets up a framework for your estate management by selecting beneficiaries and the power of attorneys. Planning these things in advance helps protect your valuable assets during probate and cement your legacy.
What Are the Benefits of a Trust?
You may have significant debts and worry that part of an injury award – whether from a workers’ compensation claim or personal injury case – will be taken by creditors. In another situation, a loved one may have passed away in a tragic accident, and a wrongful death case could be a part of the estate administration/probate process. Fortunately, you do not have to go through either of these scenarios alone.
Outstanding debts, such as a past civil judgment, could easily cut into a personal injury of workers’ compensation insurance settlement. We will work with you on a tailored solution that protects your interests.
Various types of trusts exist that may shelter your needed settlement from creditors while offering ongoing access to funds. Not every injury attorney has the experience and background to consult on trust-related matters. At the Law Office of Frank A. Cetero, we can handle all your legal needs under one roof.
With 50 years of legal experience in the Suffolk County area of New York state, the Law Offices of Frank A. Cetero are here to represent you. We work to preserve your assets and shield you and your family from a long, expensive legal process.
