Queens Probate Lawyers: Strategic Planning to Protect Assets
Estate planning is the act of creating a will and other documents to protect your assets during life and distribute them according to your wishes after death. Probate refers to the actions taken after a relative passes away to settle his or her affairs.

As a small, efficient law office we are able to give our clients direct access to a highly qualified probate and estate lawyer and yet charge reasonable rates.
Estate planning and probate administration are all about asset protection. Attorney Nathan Erlich has more than 20 years of legal experience along with a master's degree in taxation from Boston University. He also has degrees in law, economics and finance from Australia's Monash University and the University of London. If you need estate planning assistance or legal representation as the personal representative of an estate, contact us to schedule a consultation at one of our several offices in New York City and Nassau County, including our main office in Forest Hills, Queens. With out-of-state clients, we can conduct consultations via telephone.
Estate Planning Services for Families
Anyone who owns any property should have a will. People who do not own any assets should still have health care directives in place, to specify the type of medical care they want to receive in the event they are unable to speak for themselves.
We offer all manner of estate planning services at very reasonable rates. We can do anything from writing a simple living will or power of attorney to drafting a complex estate plan that uses several different types of legal instruments to protect assets both during life and after death.
Probate Administration Services
When a loved one dies and leaves a will, probate administration is the process of asking the probate court to declare the will valid so that your loved one's wishes can be carried out. When an individual dies without a will, the estate will still go through the probate process and assets will be distributed to relatives according to New York state probate laws.
Probate requires certain formal steps but can usually be completed efficiently and with minimal headaches. An attorney with extensive experience in New York's probate courts can help the personal representative of the estate by making sure every required step is completed properly and timely.
