    Case Studies

    Helping a Family Navigate an Estate with Multiple Assets and No Clear Roadmap

    Our client, the Executor of her father’s will, had no idea about the best way to handle her father’s estate – much less how to avoid costly, time-consuming mistakes. She didn’t need a lot of conflicting opinions; she needed a structured roadmap for administering her father’s estate—one that protected her as Executor and respected her father’s wishes.

    Protecting a Surviving Spouse from Nearly $2 Million in Medical Bills

    When our client’s husband passed away, he’d incurred nearly $2,000,000 in medical bills and other outstanding debts. Like many surviving spouses, she assumed that she must pay every bill. Fortunately, the solution we designed for this client allowed her to legally secure her own future before paying off debts.

    Helping a Surviving Spouse Protect Their Financial Future

    Bill came to us after losing his wife. Further complicating one of life’s most difficult moments was the fact that Bill’s wife had passed without a will. Bill needed a strategy for dividing the family home between himself and his wife’s three children from a former marriage.

    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.

    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.
