Are you ready for another client horror story? Today might just be your lucky day! We're going into an in-depth and hair-raising conversation with Matthew Fornaro, a respected business lawyer. Over four years ago, Matthew made a decision to take on a real estate litigation with a family consisting of two elders and a daughter who had authoritarian control over her parents. They rented a home in a beautiful gated community in Naples, Florida, and made a deal with the neighbor across the street. What was the deal? Well, they asked him to take over his house, perform the upkeep, and eventually purchase the home for a lower market value upon the end of their lease term on their house across the street. First red flag? There wasn't any written contract but a term sheet which contained under 20 words scribbled all over the page. The homeowner's son visited him and learned about the deal and was obviously unhappy about it. There was a lot of hullabaloo and in the end, the renting family went to a title agent and got all the work done to get ready for the sale and said the homeowner agreed to it. The son then steps in and everyone sues everybody. Fast forward, everyone is now in court, where a jury trial was demanded by the daughter. They came to an agreement and settled on a good deal, but little did everyone know that the roller coaster was about to happen.   If you'd like to know how the story ended, watch the episode now! Trust me, you won't regret it!   Morgan Friedman Matthew's Website Matthew's LinkedIn Matthew's Twitter Matthew's Facebook

What is a conservatorship? Over the past few years, “conservatorship” has become a popular buzz word and the topic of many discussions in the media. With this new-found attention on conservatorships, California lawmakers have been busy, passing multiple bills and changing the landscape of how conservatorships are established, managed, and supervised in California Probate Courts. Although there is some criticism of the restrictive nature of conservatorships, these proceedings are designed to protect California residents who cannot properly manage their own affairs. Our guest, Joseph Gruber, Jr., Esq., answers our initial question—what is a conservatorship—and so much more. About Our GuestJoseph Gruber, Jr., Esq., is an attorney with Aaron, Riechert, Carpol, and Riffle, APC.

He is extremely active in the Queens, New York Community, the Queens County Bar Association, and New York State Bar Association and is frequently invited to speak at events about Elder Law. If you'd like to learn more about Elder Law, Medicaid planning, Guardianship, Special Needs Trusts, or Probate law contact the Law Office of Frank Bruno, Jr. today at 718-418-5000. Thank you for listening! Eldercare law is really an umbrella term encompassing multiple areas of law. Some elder care attorneys handle subjects that most people know something about, such as probate, guardianship, estate planning. Other eldercare lawyers focus their practice on other areas of law such as special needs planning, VA benefits planning, and Medicaid planning. So, what is Medicaid planning? Medicaid planning is a way to protect people's assets from the threat of long-term care expenses. Many clients are between 65 and 95, own their own homes, and have between $25,000 and $750,000 worth of assets in addition to the house. What many people don't realize is exactly how expensive long term care expenses can be – In 2020 the average costs of a skilled nursing facility, in New York is $14,250.00 per month. Someone can be solidly middle class or upper-middle class, have saved their whole life, and think that they'll have plenty of money for whatever happens only to suffer a stroke, major heart attack or get an Alzheimer's or Parkinson's diagnosis and need help with their activities of daily living. If they have this six-figure per year care expense, many people spend everything. Medicare does not pay skilled nursing home expenses after 100 days. An elder care attorney, who handles Medicaid planning, is able to legally and ethically protect people's assets to get them qualified for Medicaid. Medicaid, unlike Medicare, has excellent long-term care benefits. This helps them supplement their lifestyle with their own assets (to improve the quality of their life while alive) and make it more likely that they will have something to pass onto their heirs after they pass away. There are many myths and much misinformation surrounding long-term care Medicaid in New York. To learn more please visit... https://www.frankbrunolaw.com

Today on Hull on Estates, Noah Weisberg and Nick Esterbauer discuss the role of social media in the context of Estate Litigation.

About Smith, Gambrell & Russell, LLP - http://sgrlaw.com Learn more about Laura Wartner http://www.sgrlaw.com/attorneys/lwartner/ Laura L. Wartner is a Partner in and Head of Smith, Gambrell & Russell’s Tax Practice, with a focus in Private Client Services on family business planning, estate planning, and probate administration. [TRANSCRIPT] Private Wealth Services really is about the transition. It's about transitioning not only the families wealth and by that, we're talking not just money but the families values, the families legacy. What's important to the family, to the next generation. That's why it's so much bigger than what we use to call trusts in a states which imply they were just preparing documents. Actually, the documents carry out the plan that the family and we have come to in order to make the transition to the next generation. Also, included in the Private Wealth Services is probate administration, administering a state's, preparing all the various tax returns that need to be prepared as well as philanthropy because often part of the family's transition plan is not to move everything down the generations but part of the plan is to move funds into charity and to support the family charitable goals and involve the family, the larger family in charitable planning. Another important aspect of the work that we do with families is business succession planning. Often, our clients are owners of closely held businesses even family businesses and trying to determine what to do with that business at the death of the owner is very important. One of the reasons why it is so important especially if it's a family business is because the decision about what to do with it can very often affect family dynamics. So, it's important to think about that process, to think about what makes the best solution for the family to transition that business or to sell it beyond the owner's death. I really enjoy this area of law because we can do so much for people and helping them come to an understanding of what they have, how they want to pass it on, what works for them and for their families. It's quite satisfying to work with these families and helped them come up with the plans that they eventually implement and then being able to implement the plan and see it work, that's also very satisfying. We really enjoy working with our clients, we enjoy the relationships that we build with our clients. We often feel like we're a part of the family and our firm would love to work with you.[END] Private Wealth Services: Our attorneys represent a diverse client base, from individuals to large, multi-generational families, including owners of family-held business enterprises, non-U.S. citizens and foreign individuals with significant international and U.S.-based interests.
