Frequently Asked Questions
What documents are included in a basic estate plan in New York?
A basic estate plan typically includes a last will and testament, a durable power of attorney, a healthcare proxy, and a living will. New York law allows you to combine the healthcare proxy and living will into one document. These documents ensure your wishes are followed if you become incapacitated.
Does New York have an estate tax and how does it affect my plan?
Yes, New York imposes an estate tax on estates valued over a certain exemption amount, which is adjusted annually. For 2024, the exemption is $6.94 million. Estates above this threshold are taxed on the entire value, not just the excess. Proper planning can help reduce or defer this tax.
