5 estate planning attorneys serve Ithaca. They prepare wills, revocable and irrevocable trusts, powers of attorney, health care directives and business succession plans, and review beneficiary designations that pass outside the will entirely.
Ask for the cost of a complete plan as a package rather than per document — most firms in Ithaca quote a flat fee for a will-based or trust-based plan. Ask specifically about funding a trust; one that is drafted but never funded does nothing.
Plans should be revisited after a marriage, divorce, birth, death, business sale or a move to another state.
