If you're looking for an attorney for wills near Syracuse NY or the greater Central New York region, MCV Law can help.
MCV Law's estate lawyers understand that each person's situation is unique. We get that there's a lot to consider.
Whether you need to create a will, update a will, or you need help navigating wills and probate, we empower you to stress less and achieve peace of mind with estate administration. Our estate lawyers can draft legal documents, including a will, that are consistent with how you or your loved one wish the estate to be distributed upon passing.
It's essential to make you or your loved one's will legally binding and consistent with you or your loved one's wishes.
A will details how you or your loved one's assets and estate will be distributed after passing. A will details the distribution of:
- Financial assets
- Property
- Personal belongings
- and more
It's critical to keep your will up to date to reduce stress and conflict among loved one's after your passing. A will also helps to streamline and simplify the probate process. A will ensures the estate is distributed consistent with you or your loved one's wishes, rather than estate administration determined by state laws.

Estate Lawyers for Healthcare Proxy
A healthcare proxy is one of the most important estate planning documents. Anyone could benefit from creating or updating their healthcare proxy regardless of where they are in life.
In brief, a healthcare proxy is a legal document that determines who would make medical decisions on your behalf if you're unable to communicate or make decisions.
A healthcare proxy is an essential part of planning for emergencies before something happens. Medical problems can be even more stressful for family members and loved ones if a healthcare proxy isn't already established. In addition to avoiding conflict and confusion, a healthcare proxy ensures control over your medical decisions even when you're incapacitated and physically unable to communicate your decisions.
Be prepared for the unexpected. Don't wait -- contact an estate lawyer today to establish your healthcare proxy.

Estate Lawyers for a Durable Power of Attorney
Similar to a healthcare proxy, a Durable Power of Attorney designates someone you trust to make personal, business or financial decisions on your behalf if you become incapacitated.
No one expects something to go wrong. Establishing a Durable Power of Attorney makes unexpected circumstances less confusing and less stressful for the people who are most important to you. When people's health takes a dramatic turn, whether suddenly through an accident or as we age, it can be difficult to navigate. With a Durable Power of Attorney, you and your loved one's will have one less thing to worry about.
Prepare for whatever life throws at you and get peace of mind with a Durable Power of Attorney. MCV Law's estate lawyers are the relied upon professionals, helping people establish a legally binding power of attorney. We can answer any questions you may have, help make sense of your options and create the necessary legal documents that are consistent with your wishes.
Life is full of big decisions. A Durable Power of Attorney ensures that things are handled the way you want them to be.
In addition to establishing a Durable Power of Attorney, certain life events may necessitate updating existing power of attorney documents. Many people update their power of attorney after a marriage, divorce, purchase of property, or major health changes. While these events are common reasons why someone may update their power of attorney, there's no better time than the present than to prepare for the future.
