Advance Directives: Planning for Medical

& Legal Decisions

One of the most important aspects of Elder Law is ensuring that your wishes are respected if you can’t speak for yourself. We help clients execute critical advance directives, including:

  • Durable Power of Attorney: Appointing someone to handle financial and legal matters 

  • Healthcare Proxy: Designating someone to make medical decisions on your behalf

  • Notifying Heirs & Creditors: Stating your preferences for end-of-life care

Having these documents in place reduces confusion, prevents disputes, and gives loved ones the authority they need in a crisis. Reach Out to the Professionals at Zeh & Associates, P.C. Today (631) 350-7700

Estate Planning for Seniors

Many Elder Law issues intersect with estate planning. Our attorneys assist seniors in:

  • Drafting or updating wills and trusts

  • Minimizing estate and inheritance taxes

  • Avoiding probate through trust-based planning

  • Transferring real property to loved ones

  • Creating plans for blended families or second marriages
