Ron McKenzie2024-07-16 “When my wife, Pamela and I decided to establish a Living Trust, we realized we had no idea where to start. So, I took the lead and over a period of three months attended three different seminars in Las Vegas that were offered by legal firms that specialized in assisting and developing Living Trust solutions for families. The firm that came out on top by a huge margin was Gary L. Fales & Associates. So the question is WHY? The reason is Gary in his presentation immediately addressed the needs and wants that my wife and I were looking for, plus they had very reasonable pricing with various payment options. So, we signed on and they helped us assemble our Living Trust including Wills and Burial Instructions and where our Assets would go. We both highly recommend meeting and talking with Gary Fales and his great Staff. When you complete the process, you’ll sleep better at night.” Ronald A. and Pamela S.

An estate planning attorney helps individuals plan for the management and distribution of their assets upon death, minimizing taxes, and avoiding probate where possible.
Probate is the legal process of validating a will and distributing assets. It can be time-consuming and expensive, which is why many people choose to avoid it through proper estate planning.
The best way to avoid probate is by setting up a living trust, ensuring assets are titled correctly, and naming beneficiaries for certain assets.
Yes, even if you have a trust, you will still need a “pour-over” will to cover any assets that aren’t placed in the trust.
Medicaid planning helps you qualify for benefits while preserving your assets, especially for long-term care. A Medicaid Asset Protection Trust (MAPT) allows you to transfer assets into an irrevocable trust, shielding them from Medicaid eligibility calculations. This ensures you receive care while protecting your assets for your heirs. Our attorney at Fales Law Group can guide you through setting up a MAPT and navigating Medicaid planning in New York.
