The wealth you build, whether a family home, a business or savings earned over decades, deserves a plan as carefully made as the effort that created it. Without one, New York law decides who inherits, who takes charge of your affairs and who raises your minor children. Your family may face months in Surrogate’s Court, avoidable taxes, and disputes that divide them for years.
At Ankaa Law, estate planning is a core practice. We work with families, business owners and individuals with assets both in the United States and abroad to put a clear, legally sound plan in place, and we stand beside families when an estate has to pass through the courts.
How we represent you
- We start with your family, not a form. Every plan begins with a conversation about who depends on you, what you own and where, and what worries you most.
- We plan for the whole picture. Real estate, closely held businesses, retirement accounts, life insurance and overseas assets are coordinated so that nothing falls through the gaps.
- We explain in plain language, in English or Chinese. You will understand what every document does before you sign it.
- We stay with you. Plans are reviewed as your life changes: marriage, children, a new business, a move, or a change in the law.
- When disputes arise, we litigate. If a will is challenged or a fiduciary fails in their duties, our team represents you in Surrogate’s Court.
