Trusts, Wills, & Estates

Although historically thought of as an Elder Law practice, Joseph J. Villano, Esq. understands that clients of all ages have assets to protect and need to have a contingency in place should the unfathomable happen.  First time homebuyers, parents with young children, business owners, and retirees all should create a plan to address health concerns, properly dispose of their possessions, and guide their loved ones in a stressful time.  Despite our planning services being narrowly tailored to our clients’ specific needs, typical services include

• Preparation of Last Wills and Testaments
• Health Care Proxies
• Living Wills
• Powers of Attorney
• Drafting of Intervivos / Medicaid Trusts
• Establishing Life Estates

Although this practice area allows great flexibility, no one can anticipate the exact time the plans are needed.  Although it is never too early to get your affairs in order, often it is too late.  Many options, such as the formation of a Medicaid Trust, which preserve the greatest amount of your estate, need to be put in place five (5) years in advance of their needs.  Call today!
