This blog is written to provide fellow New Yorkers with a small sampling of the rules, regulations and issues which predominate the fields of Trusts & Estates and Elder Law. This blog is not intended to provide individualized legal advice, as every matter is factually distinct, but is written to provide my friends, colleagues and clients with a very basic understanding of my primary practice areas.
