Estate Lawyers • Estate Planning Attorneys • Elder Law Matters

Elder law, estate planning, probate, and estate administration are at the heart of the law practice of Goldberg Sager & Associates, in Brooklyn, New York. For more than 15 years, the law firm has provided reliable, knowledgeable and personal service to clients in the following areas:

• Probate and Estate Administration
  Whether someone has passed away with or without a will, Attorney Marcel A. Sager manages estates to ensure that all beneficiaries are paid in a timely manner and all regulations are closely followed.

• Estate Planning
  Only through careful planning can you ensure that an estate is distributed according to your wishes. For most people, this means preparing to leave personal property to family members or charitable causes without delay or unnecessary expense for the recipients of assets after death.

• Elder Law
  Elder law may include preparation, review, or updating of wills, trusts, and other estate planning documents, preparation of living wills, health care proxies, and powers of attorney, planning for the long term care of vulnerable adults, guardianships, deed transfers, and other creative plans to passing real estate to family members.

• Guardianships
  Property management and health care decisions are examples of issues that may necessitate the establishment of a guardianship.

• Drafting of Wills, Trusts, and Other Documents
  The law firm prepares wills, trusts, and other testamentary documents pursuant to clients' wishes to protect their families' future and plan for the legacies they intend to leave behind.

• Drafting of Living Wills, Health Care Proxies, and Powers of Attorney
  Careful, thoughtful estate planning requires a thorough evaluation of assets, family circumstances, long term goals, and ways to transfer property according to the wishes of the deceased, rather than according to New York law if you die without a will.

• When Someone in Your Family Has Died without a Will
  Goldberg Sager & Associates explore issues related to a relative who has died or is dying without a will including property division, transfer of assets, and title transfers.

• Surrogate's Court Litigation
  If it can be demonstrated that a testamentary document, such as a will, was not properly executed, Surrogate's Court litigation may provide remedies.

• Real Estate Transactions
  Goldberg Sager & Associates handles deed transfers, including inter-family deeds with life estates, real estate sales contracts, house, condominium, and cooperative apartment closings, real estate partition actions, and section 1031 real estate exchanges (also known as delayed exchange or Starker exchanges).
