Estate Planning & Divorce

Make Sure Your Estate Ends Up in the Right Hands

In the eyes of the law, you are legally married until a judge signs your final divorce decree. In the event you become disabled or pass away before your marriage is legally ended, your ex-spouse might have continuing rights to your estate. Normally, a spouse in New York has certain statutory estate rights. Fortunately, with sophisticated estate planning, there are often ways for you to ensure your estate ends up in the right hands – even before your divorce is finalized.

Apart from divorce, a properly drafted separation agreement can ensure someone other than your ex-partner will receive your estate in the event of your death or incapacitation. It can also possibly limit their rights as a beneficiary of your estate. Due to the complexity of estate planning issues that can arise during a divorce, it is best to work with an experienced lawyer.

  • Wills / living wills
  • Trusts
  • Beneficiary designation

    “I would strongly recommend her as a divorce /representative attorney.”
    I utilized Lois's services for divorce. She was most helpful in all aspects. First, she explored reconciliation, which was the right thing to do. Absence of that, her suggestion of what to negotiate for, how to do it without unnecessary anger & hostility to the ex & how to expedite the process was invaluable. Timewise she was excellent & sympathetic to what I was going through. She was always available & her fees were very reasonable. I would strongly recommend her as a divorce /representative attorney.

    “She is responsive, and answered my emails within a couple of minutes every time. Highly rated!”
    Lois acted as the mediator in my divorce, and she was absolutely excellent. It was a very difficult time for me personally, but Lois made the process as easy and painless as it could possibly have been. She listened to each of us separately, and made thoughtful and helpful suggestions. She is fair, and seemed to genuinely care about finding a solution that was best for both parties. Lois is perfectly qualified to handle this type of situation, given her background in psychology. She truly understands people, and used this ability to keep my ex-husband and I calm, and smoothly navigate a few tricky situations. I felt very understood by Lois, and think that she not just a top-quality attorney, but also a very decent person. She is responsive, and answered my emails within a couple of minutes every time. Highly rated!

    “I'm Happily Married. Thanks Lois!”
    Thanks to Lois Brenner our wedding went well because we had our prenuptial agreement in place. We literally had her draft our prenuptial agreement 2 weeks before our wedding. She was thorough, made suggestions to include things we hadn’t even thought of, and got it done really quickly. Thanks Lois :)

    “Smart, tough, responsive Attorney !”
    When my daughter was sideswiped and served with a summons by her husband we called Lois Brenner. I had met Lois when she was giving a seminar on Marriage and Finances. I thought she was really smart. I never dreamt I would be calling her to help my daughter. When we went to see her she put our minds at ease. We immediately knew she was the attorney for us. She managed to negotiate a really good settlement with my son-in-law’s attorney. She was tough and always returned our phone calls and responded immediately to our emails. We even heard from her on weekends!! She was determined to keep us out of court and guided us every step of the way. She was our Angel!!! Mary B.
