Assistance in Reviewing an Existing Will and other Estate Planning Documents

If you already have a will in place, it is important that you keep it up-to-date. Certain changes in your life, such as marriage, divorce, childbirth, adoption, the purchase or sale of property, a shift in your financial status, changes to tax laws, or the death of a loved one are likely to require revisions to your will and other estate planning documents. Contact the Law Office of Donna Levinston Braff to schedule a full review of your existing will, power of attorney, living will and health care proxy, and to confirm that your current wishes reflect your written documents.

Guardianships

A guardianship may be needed for an elder loved one who is incapacitated as a result of dementia or for a young adult with a developmental disability.
