Estate Planning and Probate
A variety of estate planning matters cross Mr. Cohen's desk, including planning for the distribution
of an individual's property at his or her death and taking into account wills, taxes, insurance, property,
and trusts so as to gain the maximum benefit of all laws, while, at the same time, carrying out the person's
wishes.
Probate is the legal process by which a person's debts are paid and assets are distributed upon her
or his death. Individual state laws direct the probate court how to distribute the deceased's estate.
State laws and procedures vary greatly, so, it is important to consult a firm with expertise in this
area of the law to ensure that the deceased's assets are distributed correctly.
