Welcome to Legacy Law
At Legacy Law, we believe estate planning isn’t just about documents—it’s about making sure your legacy is carried out according to your wishes and values. Our Rye-based law firm helps individuals and families across Westchester County and the five boroughs of New York City protect their loved ones and provide their peace of mind.
Whether you’re preparing for the unexpected, welcoming a new child, or ensuring lifelong care for a loved one with special needs, we’re here to guide you with compassion and clarity.
Estate Planning at All Life Stages
While no one likes to think about death or disability, establishing an estate plan is one of the most important steps you can take to protect yourself and your loved ones. A well-crafted plan puts you in control of your finances, your care, and your legacy while sparing your family the stress, expense, and delay that can come with managing your affairs without one.
Legacy Law is committed to providing appropriate planning at all stages of your life, including:
- Ensuring recent high school graduates have proper powers of attorney and medical directives.
- Single professionals looking for a plan that will evolve with your life and career.
- Married couples and families with children, to provide you with peace of mind that your family will be protected.
- Unmarried couples, to protect your loved ones from a court that is designed only for traditional families.
- Blended families that require bespoke planning to ensure your legacy lives on with clarity and without conflict.
Planning for Minor Children
If you’re a parent, proper estate planning is one of the most important gifts you can give your children. Our firm helps parents of young children plan for the “what-ifs” with confidence. We’ll help you:
- Appoint guardians who will lovingly care for your children when you cannot.
- Create trusts that protect your children’s financial future.
- Ensure your wishes are clear, minimizing confusion or conflict.
It’s never too early to plan, but it can become too late. Let us set up your Kids Protection Plan and give yourself some peace of mind.
Special Needs Planning
Families with loved ones who have special needs face unique challenges and opportunities in planning for the future. We provide specialized guidance in special needs planning, helping families preserve important benefits while ensuring continued care and financial support.
Our services include:
- Drafting Special Needs Trusts to safeguard eligibility for government assistance.
- Coordinating with care providers, financial planners, and family members.
- Creating plans that balance compassion with compliance.
At Legacy Law, we understand that every family’s story is different. We’ll help you design a plan that respects your loved one’s independence and honors your family’s values.
