At Morgan Legal Group, attorney Russel Morgan, Esq. offers a full suite of estate-planning documents for clients across New York State — from New York City and Long Island to Westchester, the Hudson Valley, and Upstate communities. Rather than a single transaction, we treat will planning as an integrated process: every document your estate requires, prepared together, under one roof.
What We Prepare
| Document | What It Does |
|---|---|
| Last Will & Testament | Directs property distribution; must comply with EPTL §3-2.1 — two witnesses, testator’s signature at end, publication |
| Codicils & Amendments | Formally modifies an existing will without a full restatement |
| Living Will | A separate health-care directive governing end-of-life decisions — legally distinct from a property will |
| Intestacy Analysis | Explains EPTL Article 4 distribution when someone dies without a will |
Why Document Breadth Matters
A properly executed will satisfies NY will execution requirements — but execution is only the beginning. If your will is not admitted to probate in Surrogate’s Court it has no legal effect. A surviving spouse retains a right of election under EPTL §5-1.1-A regardless of what the will states. And a living will, though often prepared alongside a property will, is a completely different instrument.
We map every gap before drafting a single word.
