Estate Planning Long Island is providing a wide range of legal services. Estate Planning is the preparation of tasks that serve to manage an individual's asset base in the event of their incapacitation or death. It is a complex procedure. The big items are obvious – houses, cars, that stunning original 1980s surrealism painting. These are the items that everyone thinks of when laying out their estate. While these items are important, they are a small fraction of a person's estate. Dozens of smaller items, many with sentimental value, play a valuable role in one's life so they must be considered when creating an estate plan. That old rocking chair that's been passed down generation to generation? That's just as important as your car.
