New Year’s Resolutions

Elder Law

By Robert M. Goldberg

Resolutions 1 & 2 

A new year offers a natural moment to focus on long-term security for your family. Over the next month, we are going to go over 6 Estate planning goals. Let’s start with two important estate planning goals that often go hand in hand.

Resolution 1. Create a Revocable Living Trust to Avoid Probate

A revocable Living Trust helps families avoid probate, reduce delays, and keep personal matters private. Assets pass more smoothly to loved ones, which can ease stress during difficult transitions.

Resolution 2. Create an Irrevocable Trust to Protect Assets

An Irrevocable Trust focuses on asset protection and long-term care planning. Families concerned about Medicaid eligibility or preserving savings for a spouse often explore this option early.

Both Trusts serve different purposes, and choosing the right structure depends on family needs, health concerns, and timing. Both can help protect you and your loved ones’ legacy.

What our clients say about us

bryan comer

My father was placed in a nursing home 2 years ago. We went to Robert with a thousand questions and concerns. He helped us get everything legally squared away and comforted us with his professionalism. My father passed away last month, and Robert provided a free follow up call to go through all the possible loose ends and plans needed after my father’s death. Once again, his guidance was amazing. I have so much respect for this man and his office.

I highly recommend Mr. Goldberg for your estate planning. My husband and I have been retired for several years yet had never created a will. Mr. Goldberg created a plan for transitioning through late life events which should make our passing as easy as can be for our children — which was our goal.
