Estate Planning, Probate & Social Security Disability

Competent and Efficient Legal Service

Our Services

Estate Planning & Probate

  • A basic estate plan consists of a Will, Living Will and Health Care Proxy, and Durable Power of Attorney.  More complex planning may involve a Revocable Living Trust.
  • Thoughtful estate planning can in some cases help to avoid probate (the court process to transfer assets after death).
  • Specialized trusts may include Life Insurance Trusts, Second-to-Die Life Insurance Trusts, and Special Needs Trusts.  
  • We can assist with multi-jurisdictional estate planning in the following states: New York, Arizona, Nevada, Texas, Georgia and Florida.
  • We can also assist with probates and ancillary probates in the same six states. 

Social Security Disability

  • Social Security Disability benefits are awarded to claimants who prove that they can’t work because they have a medical condition that’s expected to last at least one year or result in death.
  • Vigneri has handled many Social Security Disability cases throughout the country and has a proven track record of success. 
  • Your patience and cooperation is required. The more information and medical records you provide, the stronger your case will be.
  • Most cases get denied at the first two levels of review and require a hearing before an Administrative Law Judge. Having a skilled attorney to prepare your case (and you!) for the hearing will significantly increase your chance of success.
  • The application process is lengthy and difficult; and having a competent attorney to assist you can make all the difference in your case!
