Key Considerations in Estate Planning for Young Families
With the busy lives of a young family, planning for a scenario that might never happen may be at the bottom of the to-do list, but no one knows what odds they are up against.
A timeshare is an asset, like any other – and if you own one, you should consider implementing an estate plan that considers and protects it.
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.
