Show Gratitude: Plan Your Estate This Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving is a time to reflect on gratitude, family, and giving back. While many express thanks through meals or gifts, estate planning with our skilled estate planning attorney NYC offers an enduring way to show appreciation. It's not just a legal service; it's an act of love and legacy.

Why Estate Planning Matters

Only 24% of U.S. adults have a will as of 2025, and among those aged 18-34, the figure is just 24%. As an estate planning lawyer at Stieglitz & Welch, I've seen firsthand the peace and comfort a strong, up-to-date estate plan can provide to family members.

Key Steps in Estate Planning

Revisit or start your estate plan this season and take stock of your current documents. Consider who you trust to make decisions on your behalf and clearly communicate your intentions. Our probate lawyer NYC can guide you through ensuring your wishes are understood.

Practical Tips for Planning

• Review your will and ensure it reflects your current wishes.
• Designate a power of attorney and healthcare proxy you trust.
• Communicate with your family about your plan and wishes.
