Will and Trust Preparation in the Lower Hudson Valley
Plan Ahead — Prepare a Will
Preparing a will is a simple idea that goes a long way to ensure that the best interests of your family are met after your death. Although the idea is simple, the legal implications and procedures can be quite complex, many of which you may not be aware of. At the Law Offices of John B. McBride, I can help ensure that your assets will be distributed according to your final wishes.

A Health Care Proxy and Living Will Gives Your Family Guidance in Difficult Situations
To avoid massive family strife and enormous legal expenses, everyone should have a health care proxy and a living will prepared by an experienced estate planning lawyer. Living wills lay out the specific life saving procedures that should be followed in the event you become incapacitated, such as:
- Respirators
- Feeding tubes
- Extraordinary measures
Set Up a Trust to Relieve Your Estate Planning Concerns
Many of my clients' estate planning concerns have been met by setting up a trust. A trust is an estate planning tool used to protect assets and redistribute them to your loved ones, or others, before or after your death. Beneficiaries receive distributions from the trust based on your instructions. Some of the reasons my clients set up a trust include:
- Providing for a disabled individual
- Protecting your assets
- Preventing your children from spending their inheritance unwisely
- Simple convenience — avoid probate
