Frequently Asked Questions

Get answers to common estate planning and elder law questions.

Do I need a trust or just a will?
If you own real estate, have assets over $100,000, or want to avoid probate, a trust is generally the better choice. A will alone guarantees your estate will go through probate court, which is public, expensive, and time-consuming in Connecticut.
What happens if I die without a plan in Connecticut?
Connecticut's intestacy laws will determine who inherits your assets, which may not align with your wishes. Your estate will go through probate, which can take 9-18 months and cost 3-7% of your estate value.
How can I protect my assets while qualifying for Medicaid?
Strategic Medicaid planning involves transferring assets into irrevocable trusts, purchasing exempt assets, and utilizing Connecticut-specific rules. Planning must begin well before the 5-year look-back period.
Can I make changes to my trust after I create it?
Yes. A revocable living trust can be amended or revoked at any time during your lifetime while you have capacity. You maintain complete control and flexibility.
Do you offer virtual services?
We are a fully virtual practice serving clients throughout Connecticut. All consultations and meetings can be conducted via secure video conference, and documents can be executed remotely using Connecticut's remote notarization laws.
