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.

Testimonials

What our clients say about us

We needed assistance in determining how best to prepare for elderly parents and their care. The Goldberg team was most helpful in setting up a trust and providing legal options. The team was prompt and professional in every aspect and fully met our needs. My wife and I used Robert M. Goldberg & Associates for my Mother-in-law’s needs as well as our own will. Based on my experience, I can safely recommend them to others.
