Exceptional Estate Planning Services in New York

While no one likes to dwell on their own death, considering a will (the dispensation of your assets after death,) a trust (the dispensation of your assets while living,) and advance directives (health care proxy forms, living wills, and do not resuscitate orders) makes the process easier later on. Ms. Stricker will sit with you and listen to your wishes, not only for your loved ones (wills and trusts,) but as to your end of life choices (advance directives.)

Additionally, if you lose a loved one, Ms. Stricker will assist you with the process of probate or administration. Probate is the court process where, after a death, the terms of a will are approved by a judge, and the deceased’s assets, property and possessions are given to the beneficiaries after the debts are paid off. Letters of Administration are issued by the court where a person dies without leaving a will or without an executor.

Ms. Stricker will take on these processes, allowing you time to grieve for your loved one. Contact us today to prepare for tomorrow.

Wills and Trusts

It is crucial to create a will (and in certain circumstances a trust) to provide a plan for the distribution of your property when you pass away. A will allows you to make sure that your spouse, your children, other family members, and friends are taken care of upon your death.

Advance Directives

Planning your end-of-life care is a difficult subject that most people do not want to think about. However, it is important to plan in advance and to make certain decisions. Advance directives are a vehicle to assist you in end-of-life planning. In New York State there are three types of advance directives: The Health Care Proxy form, The Living Will, and Do Not Resuscitate Order (DNR.)

A Living Will is a legal document that gives written instructions that explain your health care wishes, especially about end-of-life care. This document becomes effective when you are unable to make your own decisions.

A Health Care Proxy is a document that allows you appoint an adult to make decisions about your medical treatment if you lose the ability to decide for yourself. This person can make decisions to remove or provide life-sustaining treatment.

A Do Not Resuscitate Order (DNR) is a medical order written by a doctor. It indicates that a person – usually with a terminal illness or other serious medical condition – will not receive cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) in the event his or her heart or breathing stops.

“Dana Stricker is an ángel sent from up above! After years of being put through abusive litigations and a system that seemed to work against us and the feeling of having no voice to represent us, I found Dana Stricker. As soon as I hired her our luck and fate changed for the first time we felt not only properly represented but like someone actually listened and cared. Dana fought very hard for us and made sure that we understood what was actually happening in the court room. Dana fought so hard for us it almost felt like she took our problems personally and she was part of our family. Thank you Dana for giving us our lives back.”

"After contacting several attorney’s to discuss my case regarding yet another attempt of my sons father to end his obligation because he’s just a poor excuse of a parent, I found Dana. I knew immediately she was the solution to my everlasting problem. I’ve been fed up with the court system disregarding that children are the real victims in this charade that’s supposed to be justice. Dana was attentive and listened to me, she didn’t rush me off the phone, she provided real strategies, she empathized with me, she was honest and she was reassuring that this nightmare will end. I can not say enough about Dana and her professionalism. Honestly I almost felt like she was a BFF I could confide in and get solid advice. Stop trying to fight this never ending uphill battle with family court alone. Make the investment and Hire Dana. I promise you there will be no regrets. She’s amazing!"
