Estate Planning

by Fred Abramson

 Estate PlanningYou under­stand that you need an estate plan. But like many of your friends, you\‘ve been pro­cras­ti­nat­ing because estate plan­ning is unpleas­ant to think about. I am here to help. I will tell you every­thing that you need to con­sider when set­ting up your estate.  I will pre­pare all of your estate doc­u­ments for you,  which include at least a will, health care proxy, liv­ing trust and a durable power of attor­ney.  The sooner you get your estate plan com­pleted, the quicker you will feel cer­tain that the peo­ple who you love will be pro­vided for.

Estate plan­ning is sim­ply the process of dis­pos­ing all of your assets after you die.  Who needs to think about it?

Once you begin your estate plan­ning, you will understand:

  • Why you need a will;
  • The advan­tages of hav­ing a liv­ing trust;
  • The pro­bate process and why you want to steer clear of it;
  • How to pro­tect and pro­vide for your children;
  • Why you prob­a­bly don\‘t have to worry about estate taxes;
  • Why you need a retire­ment plan.

Estate plan­ning is a great thing to do for your fam­ily.  Con­grat­u­la­tions on even think­ing about it.

 Estate Planning

Are you sur­prised by all the paper­work and details involved in get­ting a new busi­ness up and run­ning? It’s incred­i­ble, isn’t it?  There are many deci­sions you have to make, expenses that never stop, and every time you think you’ve got a han­dle on things, some­thing else pops up.

I’ve got news for you: It doesn’t get any eas­ier.  If you are a vet­eran busi­ness owner you know that there will be more paper­work, more details, more decisions.

But guess what? It’s worth it! I under­stand how excited you are about your busi­ness and you want to do every­thing for your busi­ness to succeed.

Your busi­ness can suc­ceed, you know.  I’ve observed many start-up com­pa­nies suc­ceed.  But only sometimes.

But, I have observed many busi­nesses go bank­rupt. Some within one month.

Even though they worked hard and had the best of inten­tions, many busi­ness own­ers lose every­thing.  It’s ugly: tremen­dous debts, dreams and aspi­ra­tions dashed. Many have to return back to work for the job they hate so that they can pay off their debts.

What makes the dif­fer­ence?  Why do some busi­ness own­ers amass great wealth while oth­ers fail miserably?

As a lawyer, I am prob­a­bly not the one to tell you how to build a suc­cess­ful com­pany.  But as a busi­ness attor­ney who rep­re­sents peo­ple like you, I can tell you exactly how to make your business fail.

LITIGATION. Get­ting sued.  Many busi­ness own­ers go out of busi­ness because of  a large judg­ment against them that they can­not pay.  Or, they spend so much on legal fees, it wipes them out.

Want to know some­thing else?  It’s amaz­ing, but in many cases these own­ers could have avoided the law­suit com­pletely, or pro­tected them­selves from per­sonal lia­bil­ity.  They could have survived!

All they had to do was get some legal advice. In advance.

Before they signed a lease or con­tract.  Before they took on a part­ner or hired an employee.  Before they made busi­ness deci­sions involv­ing seri­ous legal consequences.

Ten min­utes of legal advice may have pre­vented all that fail­ure, bank­ruptcy, mis­ery, and shame

But they don’t get that advice, do they?  And we both know why.

The cost.

On top of all the other expenses of start­ing and run­ning a new busi­ness, there never seems to be enough left for legal fees.  After all, legal advice is expensive, right?

Not any­more.

The Law Office of Fred­eric R. Abram­son offers fee struc­tures that is more than billable hours.

There is a way for you to have the legal advice you need at a cost so low you would be a fool to turn it down.

Here is what it’s all about:

My firm has just intro­duced what I call the “Small Busi­ness Gen­eral Coun­sel Plan.”  For a monthly retainer of only $450, you get up to two hours of free tele­phone con­sul­ta­tions and attor­ney legal doc­u­ment review every month.

You can ask all the ques­tions you want and get the money-saving, headache-avoiding answers you need. You can have me review and com­ment on con­tracts, leases, let­ters, forms and any­thing else you use in your busi­ness.  You’ll know what’s legal, what’s fair, and what’s not.  No sur­prises. No more doubts.

Do you real­ize what that means? It means you can sleep like a baby at night know­ing that your attor­ney is “on call.”  It means that you can get the answers that you need, when you need them, so you can quickly get back to run­ning your business.

It means never hav­ing to “blindly” sign any­thing that could cost you thou­sands of dol­lars more than you should have paid because you didn’t have time to read the “fine print.”  It means never hav­ing to make uni­formed deci­sions that could get you sued for hun­dreds of thou­sands in damages.

It means incred­i­ble piece of mind for you and your family.

That alone must be worth more than $450 a month to you, yet that’s all it costs.

Call me at 212–233‑0666 to get started today or ask me any ques­tions about how the plan could help you achieve your goals.

I look  for­ward speak­ing with you.

Immi­gra­tion reform is in the news every­day. It is impor­tant to act now and con­sult with an attor­ney to guide you through the com­plex process of immi­gra­tion law.

As your per­sonal advi­sor, I will lead you and/or your com­pany through the maze of immi­gra­tion laws, pro­vid­ing com­mon sense solu­tions for aliens who want to work or immi­grate into the United States.   I have helped an array of dif­fer­ent com­pa­nies, such as those in the I.T. and import/export indus­tries obtain employ­ment visas for work­ers such as pro­gram­mers and mar­ket­ing spe­cial­ists. I have also suc­cess­fully obtained per­ma­nent res­i­dency and cit­i­zen­ship for indi­vid­u­als and their fam­i­lies from all over the world.

Immi­gra­tion sta­tus is usu­ally a mat­ter where time is of the essence.  Unfor­tu­nately, USCIS  is a gov­ern­men­tal agency with a back­log of hun­dreds of thou­sands of appli­ca­tions.  I will pro­vide a per­sonal road map with you and/or your com­pany so that your case will be resolved in the fastest pos­si­ble manner.

My immi­gra­tion prac­tice includes rep­re­sen­ta­tion for business/employment immi­gra­tion, family-based immi­gra­tion and depor­ta­tion. I pro­vide con­fi­den­tial advice relat­ing to immi­gra­tion and nat­u­ral­iza­tion, employ­ment, visas, cit­i­zen­ship, asy­lum and deportation.
