Your Needs

MATTER MOST

OUR PARTNERS AND LONG-TIME SUPPORT STAFF CONTINUE OUR LONG-STANDING PRACTICE OF GIVING EACH CLIENT PERSONAL ATTENTION.

Elder Law/Medical Planning

At some point, most families encounter legal and practical concerns in caring for elderly loved ones. An experienced elder law attorney from Meyer & Spencer, PC can assist you in planning for the future through powers of attorney and advance directives to ensure proper medical treatment is provided. We can also advise on other funding options that foster the most security in the event an elderly loved one requires nursing home care.

Estate Planning/Trusts

Estate plans and trusts are established to provide a roadmap directing how an individual’s personal and financial affairs should be handled after his or her death, or in the event of incapacity. Your estate plan should also protect and preserve your assets to the greatest extent possible, so they may be passed to your loved ones rather than consumed by taxes and health care costs. We work with clients to create and implement customized estate plans and trusts.

Real Estate

Our real estate attorneys represent institutional lenders and handle commercial and residential real estate transactions on behalf of buyers and sellers. With decades of experience handling real estate transactions, we more than understand the ins and outs of buying and selling property, and we are familiar with a wide range of real estate professionals in Westchester and Putnam counties, including brokers, inspectors, appraisers, and insurance agents.

Probate/Estate Administration

If you have recently lost a loved one, it is important to speak with an experienced probate and estate administration attorney, especially if you have been named an executor or trustee. The probate process can be complex and time consuming, and you have a tremendous fiduciary responsibility to handle the estate’s affairs properly. At Meyer & Spencer, PC, we assist clients through all phases of probate and estate administration.

Guardianship

Authority to handle legal, financial, and medical decisions for another may require a guardianship. We assist clients in helping them obtain such authority and exercise it pursuant to New York law. If your loved one has become incapacitated without a medical or financial plan in place, or if you care for a minor child or adult with disabilities, we can help you establish the requirements for guardianship and guide you through guardianship administration.

Westchester & Putnam County Estate Planning Lawyer

The Westchester & Putnam County estate planning lawyers of Meyer & Spencer, PC provide personalized, attentive, and astute legal services throughout New York.

Family dynamics can change quickly, affected by marriage, divorce, children, health, relocation, business decisions, and so on. When they do, it is important to make sure you remain prepared for the future transfer of your property and assets. To preserve your wealth to the greatest extent possible, it is necessary to work with an experienced lawyer who will understand your situation, your objectives, and who will keep you and your family financially secure in the face of change. At Meyer & Spencer, PC, we help clients implement strategies to address all life may hold in store. Since 1993, our attorneys have counseled clients in the Westchester and Putnam areas in a range of legal matters that include estate planning and trusts, elder law, Medicaid planning, real estate transactions, probate and estate administration, guardianships, and more.

Because every family is different, it takes detailed planning to accomplish your goals. Our law office can guide you effectively in making the right arrangements for your unique situation. As a boutique law firm with a focused practice in elder law, trusts and estates, and real estate transactions, we have an in-depth understanding of these areas, so you can be confident you’re getting the full picture when it comes to choosing the best instruments for protecting and transferring your assets. From simple wills for newlyweds and young families to revocable living trusts for those seeking to avoid probate, our attorneys provide advice tailored to your circumstances. In some cases, we recommend more complex trusts, including life insurance trusts, irrevocable trusts, and credit shelter trusts. Our Westchester & Putnam County estate planning lawyers have the knowledge and experience to choose and set up these trusts properly.

Our real estate practice is divided into two areas. We represent banks and institutional lenders at closings, and we represent individuals and entities in commercial and residential real estate transactions. Our experience includes homes, condominiums, planned unit developments, and cooperative apartments. Alongside our real estate practice, we also provide legal counsel to business clients involving LLC formation, incorporation, shareholder agreements, member agreements, buy-sell agreements, commercial leases, real estate purchase and sale transactions, on-going business dealings, and dissolution.

In addition to excellent service, our lawyers and long-time support staff bring more than 50 years of combined experience to our clients.
