When a loved one needs help, I guide you step by step
I’m Richard Cary Spivack, and my Forest Hills office helps Queens families set up guardianships, wills, and Healthcare Proxies so care is respectful and lawful. If someone can’t manage finances or medical choices, we move quickly and carefully to protect them.
When a guardianship may make sense
- An adult with memory loss is missing bills or wandering
- A young adult with special needs is turning 18 and needs support
- There’s no Healthcare Proxy or Power of Attorney in place
We’re at 118-21 Queens Boulevard, Suite 504, close to the Forest Hills–71 Av station and a short ride to courts in Jamaica near Sutphin Boulevard and Jamaica Station. Families visit us from Kew Gardens, Fresh Meadows, and Elmhurst because we make the process clear.
What to expect in Queens
- We review medical and financial facts and choose the right path (guardianship, POA, or both).
- I prepare filings for court, notify relatives, and set hearing dates.
- We organize reports, care plans, and budgets the judge will expect.
Along the way, we also create or update a will, Healthcare Proxy, and Power of Attorney so daily life runs smoothly—at home, with banks, and at hospitals like Northwell LIJ Forest Hills or Elmhurst Hospital.
Why families choose my office
- Calm, compassionate meetings and clear timelines
- Local know‑how with Queens courts and procedures
- Practical checklists so nothing gets missed
Let’s protect the person you love
Bring any medical notes, IDs, and prior documents. If there is no Healthcare Proxy yet, we’ll prioritize it so the right person can speak with doctors immediately. This post is general information, not legal advice. When you want a steady guide who treats your family like my own, the Law Office of Richard Cary Spivack is ready to help.
