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

phil doane

I needed to get my things in order for when I pass away as I am a single person. I attended a seminar sponsored by my Association and learned the difference between a Will and a Trust. I decided that a Living Trust was best for me. I set up an appointment with Robert M. Goldberg & Associates, and everyone was very friendly and professional. I learned a lot when I set up My Trust and feel so much better about the future of all my assets. I highly recommend this company to take care of your concerns.

Mr. Goldberg and his associates expertly “Restated and Amended” my previously and unnecessarily complicated trust. I felt such relief having all of this estate-related business handled in such a professional manner. Knowing that your affairs are in order and that everything will be facilitated for your loved ones provides enormous peace of mind. I am very happy with Goldberg & Associates and would not hesitate to hire them again in the future, should the need ever arise.
