New York Wills and Probate Lawyer
Albany Estate Administration Attorney
Having a will, a living will, and a health care proxy may seem like a lot of time-consuming, expensive work — not to mention being downright depressing. At our law firm, however, we find that when a couple has a child, when a family is planning a long trip, or when the children are grown and out of the house, people realize that having a legal will, updated for current circumstances, brings peace of mind.

Having a will and other documents (power of attorney, health care proxy) can be crucial to your family. Such documents can save time, money, and unnecessary distress. Contact a wills lawyer at Maxwell & Van Ryn. We will help you determine what documents you need — quickly and at a reasonable fee.
- Last Will and Testament: A legal will provides your family with the information they need to divide your estate according to your wishes. They don't need to guess or debate your intentions. They will know. Parents of young children can designate guardians for their children just in case they are needed. Our wills and probate law firm can help you.
- Health Care Proxy, Living Will: Does your physician know how you want to be treated if you are unable to make your own health care decisions? Is your family aware of your wishes? You can save them the anxiety of making difficult decisions at a time of extreme stress.
- Power of Attorney: What if you are too sick to manage your finances? What if you are out of the country and unable to take care of matters back home? A power of attorney can give that responsibility to a trusted person when and if it is necessary.
- Probate and Estate Administration: Our probate and estate administration lawyer can help you settle a loved one's estate. We have helped many families through the probate process required by the surrogate court — gathering the assets, paying the taxes and other obligations, and making a final accounting of the estate. We will also administer the estate, assuring that all money and property is appropriately distributed to the heirs. Probate and estate administration are exacting processes. Our experience can help you and your family.
