What Is Estate Planning?

Estate planning refers to the process of getting your affairs in order so that a clear plan is followed upon your death or incapacitation. It allows you to map out exactly how your assets will be distributed, responsibilities will be handled and decisions will be made.

Common documents included in an estate plan are:

  • Last will and testament
  • Revocable living trust
  • Durable power of attorney
  • Advance health care directive
  • Living will
  • Guardianship
  • Beneficiary designation
  • Letter of instruction
  • Deeds

Creating an estate plan can enable you to give specific instructions about how various situations should be handled in your absence. Moreover, it can save your family from the complicated and often costly process of probate after your death.

We thought or old will and plan was up to date, we were wrong. Everything about a trust is what we needed. All done in 5 days. Wills go to probate, trusts don't. Just added trust as secondary beneficiary. Thank you Ted! Great customer service!

Where do I start?! Ted was amazing from beginning to end. After speaking with several attorneys who made getting a beneficiary deed sound incredibly complicated. Ted scheduled me the same week and had everything handled quickly and efficiently; we were in and out in no time.
Beyond his efficiency, what stood out most was his professionalism and kindness. He treats you like a person, not just another transaction and that truly makes a difference. I genuinely appreciate his approach and will absolutely recommend this law firm. I plan to continue to do a business with them moving forward.

Ted was very helpful in setting up our will and trust. My wife and I are in our early 70s and should have done this a long time ago. His cost for this service was very reasonable. We definitely recommend him.

I've worked with these guys on multiple realestate projects now. They're awesome! What they lack in size compared to some big firms, they make up for in brilliant, outside the box, precision. A special thanks to Erik! I would highly recommend this firm to friends and family.

If you need attorneys who will fight for you....look no further. I had a need to get out of a real estate partnership that went sour and needed to get out of a mortgage situation that was cumbersome (mostly emotional) to me. Through a referral from a friend I called TdD Attorneys at Law and got a same day initial appointment with Ted Disabato. Ted talked with me, not down to me, and suggested to do a Partition lawsuit. He explained, in detail what it meant, to my satisfaction. After hiring the firm, I was contacted by his associate attorney (Pitbull) Louis Teson. What a fine young man this guy is. He mediated an amicable agreement with my (former) ex partner and the rest is history. Thank you Ted, and thank you Louis. From the bottom of my heart!! P.S. Ted...you need to work on making Louis a Partner. 🙂

The process could not have been easier and he explained every step of the way. Ted is incredibly knowledgeable and approachable. You will leave feeling like every contingency has been thought of, and like you can rest easy that your loved ones will be taken care of. Highly recommend Ted.
