The two documents every Queens adult needs
From our Forest Hills office at 118-21 Queens Boulevard, Suite 504, I help families create Power of Attorney and Health Care Proxy documents that work when life gets stressful. Whether you live near Forest Hills Stadium, along Austin Street, or by the Kew Gardens LIRR stop, I’ll make this simple and fast.
Why these papers matter
If you’re in the hospital at Long Island Jewish Forest Hills or recovering at home, someone you trust should be able to pay bills, talk to doctors, and keep life moving. These documents avoid court delays and protect your wishes.
What I set up for you
- Power of Attorney (POA): Lets a person you choose handle finances—rent, mortgage, utilities, banking.
- Health Care Proxy (HCP): Names who speaks to your doctors and follows your treatment choices.
- Living Will: States your preferences for end‑of‑life care, so family members aren’t left guessing.
My simple 3‑step process
- We talk about your goals—right here near Queens Borough Hall or by video if you prefer.
- I draft clear, New York–compliant forms tailored to your needs and explain each choice in plain English.
- We sign and notarize in the office; you leave with originals and secure digital copies.
Who should you pick as your agent?
- Someone organized and calm under pressure
- A person who lives nearby in Queens, Nassau, or Brooklyn
- A backup agent in case your first choice is unavailable
Why neighbors choose us
- Local, elder‑law focus with related services: wills, trusts, guardianships, probate, and estate administration.
- Queens‑tested documents our clients use at hospitals and, when needed, at Queens County Surrogate’s Court on Sutphin Boulevard.
- Kind, straightforward service and strong community reviews—people recommend us to friends in Rego Park, Kew Gardens, and Briarwood because we keep things easy.
