Elder Law & Estate Planning

Estate planning involves arranging for the management and disposition of your estate upon your incapacity or death. A typical estate plan includes the preparation of Wills, Trusts, Powers of Attorney, Health Care Proxies and Living Wills. In second marriages, the issuer can become more complex and might involve additional documentation that should be considered.


Not all that much different from estate planning, elder law also focuses on arranging and planning for your potential incapacity, and includes the protection of your assets in the event you were to require long term care.


At Hyl Conte Law, we take the worry and the burden out of the situation and provide you with the service you need with the trust and quality you deserve, utilizing our many years of expertise in Elder Law & Estate Planning to find a solution that best suits your individual needs.

Medicaid Applications,
Guardianship &
Special Needs Planning

Medicaid: The costs of long-term care can be expensive and are not covered by Medicare or typical health insurance policies. Such care can be covered by Medicaid, however there are certain asset and income tests and an exhaustive application process in order to qualify for Medicaid. The application process can be daunting, but Hyl Conte Law assists clients in assembling the documentation they need to support the application and facilitate the process.

Guardianship: In terms of Guardianship, there are 2 types of guardianship proceedings in New York. Those for people who are born with a developmental or mental disability and therefore never had capacity; and the second for those who did have capacity but subsequently lost capacity, either as a result of injury or illness. The laws, procedures, Courts and paperwork are completely different between the two. Hyl Conte Law guides clients through both types of proceedings with real-world applications, translating legal jargon into a simple, easy-to-understand manner to ensure the client feels respected, understood and properly informed.

Special Needs Planning:  For our clients necessitating Special Needs Planning, Hyl Conte Law helps our clients understand the circumstances and instances which could jeopardize eligibility for governmental benefits and programs; such as how funds left to a disabled individual could jeopardize their eligibility for governmental benefits and programs if not placed into a Special Needs Trust, also known as a Supplemental Needs Trust. Additionally, depending on the severity of the limitations of the disabled individual, they may need more or less than what would be their traditional share of the estate.

At Hyl Conte Law, we present our clients with the facts, strip away the complexities and help them navigate their individual situation with respect, integrity and compassion.

Probate,
Trust Administration,
Business Succession Planning,
Small Business Planning & Prenuptial Agreements

Probate: When a loved one dies, someone needs to be appointed to act on behalf of their estate. This appointment must be obtained in the Surrogate’s Court. As such, Hyl Conte Law prepares all of the necessary Court paperwork to obtain these appointments, and continue to advise clients on the steps they need to take to administer an estate once they are appointed.


Trust Administration: Trusts are established for a variety of reasons. As time passes, the need for the Trust and the management of the Trust can go through various changes. Thus, Hyl Conte Law provides ongoing advice to Trustees about their duties and responsibilities, and to Trust beneficiaries about their financial and legal rights.


Business Succession Planning: Many closely held businesses do not survive the second generation of ownership. It is very important to ensure that the owners of a closely held business have a properly structured and funded Shareholders Agreement or Buy-Sell Agreement. Hyl Conte Law can assist in creating either agreement and ensuring proper ownership is met and upheld.


Small Business Planning: As entrepreneur's ourselves, we know the joys and pitfalls of establishing and running your own business. We assist clients with the legal aspects of creating their business entity in New York State by drafting the necessary operating agreements, by-laws, shareholder agreements, corporate resolutions and buy-sell agreements. Furthermore, we implore everyone to be cautious about using websites that advertise business formation services without speaking with an attorney. Improperly drafted business documents and business entities that fail to follow appropriate guidelines can expose the business owner to personal liability.

For further assistance, Paul Hyl also run's a Captive Insurance Management Company, where he assists his business clients in establishing and maintaining Captive Insurance Companies. You can find out more information at Private Insurance Management, Inc..


Prenuptial Agreements: Only half of all marriages end in divorce, the other half end through the death of a spouse. Properly drafted prenuptial agreements need to address what will happen under both scenarios. This is something that many clients and matrimonial attorneys fail to take into consideration. Hyl Conte Law helps our clients by drafting agreements suited to our client's needs with the utmost respect, integrity and service.
