Is a POA and Health Care Proxy Good in Any State?
If you are outside of New York and you need someone to make financial and/or medical decisions for you, your Durable Power of Attorney (POA) and Health Care Proxy (HCP), which are tailored to New York law, are still valid in other states.
At Burner Prudenti Law, we’re always looking for ways to better serve our clients and support their families through life’s most important decisions. That’s why we’re thrilled to welcome two exceptional attorneys to our team: Erin Cullen, Esq. and Alma Muharemovic, Esq.
Starting September 1, 2025, the medical and clinical requirements to be eligible for in-home care paid by Medicaid are changing.
Estate planning is especially challenging for blended families. They must consider how an estate plan will impact the surviving spouse, biological children, and stepchildren.
While a life estate deed is one of the tools in the estate planner’s belt, it is not the answer for everyone. As with any planning, the best option will depend on the goals, concerns and people involved.
Leaving instructions in your estate planning documents on how a seasonal property will continue to be used and/or owned after your death, can prevent friction amongst family members and ensure your investment can be enjoyed for decades to come.
While power of attorney (POA) forms are widely available online at little to no cost, do-it-yourself options can end up costing you thousands if they are not done right.
Planning with life insurance requires the advice of competent insurance professionals and estate planning attorneys to ensure the most advantageous outcome for you and your beneficiaries.
Protecting one’s home in a Medicaid Asset Protection Trust (MAPT) is a common planning tool.
Burner Prudenti Law, P.C. is pleased to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the establishment of our firm. With roots in Elder Law, we soon expanded our practice to include Estate Planning, Trusts and Estates, and Real Estate.
Minimizing or eliminating taxes on an estate during life and at death is complicated. There are several taxes to consider.
