Without a formal plan, New York State law and the courts will determine who will make our medical and financial decisions when we are unable to make those decisions ourselves, or who will be appointed as guardians of our minor children, or who will inherit our assets when we are gone. Often the law delivers outcomes that do not reflect our wishes and do not secure the interests of the people most dear to us. This is why it is important that we make these decisions for ourselves, in advance, by developing a written plan to protect our treasures and secure our legacies.

Advance Directives

Health Care Proxy A document used to appoint another person to make medical care decisions for you if you are incapacitated.

Living Will A document which states your specific wishes as to your medical care in the event you can no longer communicate those wishes yourself. A document used to appoint a trusted person to dispose of your remains in accordance with your instructions.
