You have one life and one set of wishes. At Morgan Legal Group, we treat every client as exactly that — one individual — not a caseload entry. Attorney Russel Morgan, Esq. works with New Yorkers across the state, from New York City and Long Island to Westchester, the Hudson Valley, and Upstate communities, to build a will that reflects your specific circumstances.
What to Expect When You Reach Out
A 30-minute discovery call lets us understand your situation before any drafting begins. We cover:
| Topic | Why It Matters for You |
|---|---|
| Asset inventory | Determines what your will can and cannot govern |
| Beneficiary intentions | Prevents ambiguity that delays Surrogate’s Court probate |
| Execution requirements | NY EPTL §3-2.1 requires at least two attesting witnesses and testator signature at the will’s end |
| Intestacy exposure | Without a valid will, EPTL Article 4 controls who inherits — not you |
| Spousal election | Under EPTL §5-1.1-A a surviving spouse may claim a minimum share regardless of will terms |
Note: a living will (health-care directive) is a legally separate document — we address both, but never conflate them.
