Nassau County estate planning attorney

helping families plan with clarity



Why Planning Now Protects Later

Estate planning is about making thoughtful choices for your family in Nassau County and Queens. At the Law Offices of Laurence Rogers, a local estate planning lawyer in Valley Stream helps you decide how property is distributed, who makes decisions if you cannot, and how to reduce stress for loved ones. Many Long Island families ask about guardians for minors, ways to keep peace among siblings, and how to keep the process efficient through the Surrogate’s Court in Mineola.

Services For Nassau And Queens Families

We prepare wills that reflect your wishes, set up trusts to manage assets, and draft powers of attorney and health care directives so someone you trust can act if needed. For larger or more complex estates, we discuss tax planning strategies that fit New York rules and your goals. Meetings can be in person near Hendrickson Park or by phone if that is easier for your schedule.

For details on documents that work together, read more about wills and trusts, and see how planning can avoid probate when the situation calls for it.

Plans Built Around Your Life

A young family in Valley Stream may want a simple will with guardians, while a retiree in Rockville Centre may prefer a living trust that keeps things private. The Law Offices of Laurence Rogers explains options in plain language and recommends only what you need. You will see timelines, clear pricing, and a checklist that keeps everything moving.

If questions come up while you think through decisions, you can always contact our office for quick answers.

Wills Or Trusts, And When Each Makes Sense

A will directs who receives your property, names guardians, and can set simple trusts for minors. It is filed in Surrogate’s Court after death. A living trust can manage assets during life, streamline transfers, and keep details private. Many Long Island households use both. We help you decide based on assets, family dynamics, and whether you own real estate in multiple states.

Keep Your Plan Current

Life events change plans. Marriage, a new child, a home purchase, or a move between Nassau and Queens should trigger a review. We schedule periodic check ins and make updates so beneficiaries, decision makers, and instructions match your current life.
