Four ways families come to us
Some people are planning ahead. Some are dealing with a parent’s care. Some have just lost someone. The starting point is different in each case.
Planning ahead
Estate Planning
You want a plan in place. Who gets what, who decides if you cannot, and who raises your children. Start here if nothing is set up yet.
Estate planning
Wills & trusts
Wills and Trusts
You know you need something in writing but not whether that is a will, a trust, or both. We lay out the difference in plain terms.
Wills and trusts
After a death
Probate and Estate Administration
Someone has died and you have been named executor, or there was no will at all. There is a filing to make and we can handle it.
Probate
Care & Medicaid
Elder Law and Medicaid Planning
A parent needs care, or will soon, and you are worried about the house and the savings. This is the most time sensitive of the four.
Elder law and MedicaidA different way of doing this
Education first
You are not handed a package to sign. Jason explains the options and the trade offs so the decision stays yours.
Built around your family
Second marriages, a child with a disability, a business, property out of state. The plan has to match the actual situation.
Fees in writing
Agreed before any work starts. Clients tell us the absence of surprise bills is one of the things they notice most.
Attorney and advisor
Jason is a licensed New York attorney and a Financial Advisor, so beneficiary designations and account titling get looked at too.

The team made everything easy to understand and helped us think through decisions we had not even considered, like guardianship and protecting our children. We never felt rushed, and every question was answered with patience.”

Jason R. Breit, Esq.
Jason built this practice around a view he formed early: a lot of legal work is either set up to escalate a fight or is purely transactional, and neither one serves a family trying to make a decision.
So the process here starts with education. Clients get walked through what they own, who depends on them, and what the law would do by default if nothing were in place. From there they choose. The point is not to produce documents. It is to make sure the documents work when the family needs them.
Alongside the law practice Jason works as a Financial Advisor, which means beneficiary designations, account titling, and the tax side get considered in the same conversation instead of being left to someone else.
