Wheatfield/North Tonawanda, New York, Estate
Planning Lawyer
As their families grow, many of my clients recognize
the importance of preparing for their own retirement,
their children's college education, and all the other
normal passages of life in these United States. With
over two decades of helping families and family
businesses as they grow and evolve in the region, I am
fortunate at the Law
Office of David Michael Heim, I have had the
satisfying job of watching children grow up and start
families of their own. It is very rewarding to have the
clients whose children were very small when they first
came to me, come back to update their wills and trusts
and other legal instruments as grandchildren are added
into the equation. Business succession planning is also
often a major consideration whenever there is a family
business, whether the children intend to continue
operation of the business or not.
I draft all necessary documents to ensure that the
family assets are conserved to the greatest extent
possible. I also seek to minimize the estate taxes due
upon the death of the grantor. For assistance in making
a will, or establishing a trust, including special needs
trusts, for the protection of your family, contact
me at the Law Office of David Michael Heim.
Niagara County Elder Law Attorney
I also assist with other estate planning matters,
often referred to by the term "living wills" such as the
appointment of Health Care Proxy, or the designations of
a health care Powers Of Attorney, and other Advanced
Health Care Directives, including what may be called a
Do Not Resuscitate (DNR) order.
New York Guardianship Litigation
For families who may need to set up Guardianships for
parents or grandparents who no longer are able to care
for themselves. I can help obtain the proper
Guardianship papers and represent parties in disputed
Guardianship litigation for both disabled adults and
children.
To develop an effective estate plan or to revise an
existing will or trust, please contact my
law office.
