New York Estate Planning, Divorce and Family Lawyers
Estate planning attorneys help individuals and families prepare for the future by creating wills, trusts, powers of attorney, and health care directives that protect their assets and loved ones. Through careful planning, you can ensure your wishes are honored, minimize taxes, and avoid unnecessary court involvement. We are on hand to help you understand your options and provide you with the legal guidance you need to secure your legacy and protect those who matter most.
Trusts are powerful estate planning tools that protect your assets, avoid probate, and give you control over how and when your wealth is distributed. Trusts could be revocable or irrevocable, they offer privacy, flexibility, and strategic tax advantages—especially for families focused on long-term security. At Stepanian Law Firm, we design trusts that safeguard your legacy while keeping your plan simple and effective.
Wills are one of the most important documents you can create: it ensures your assets are distributed according to your wishes and not left to legal defaults. It protects your loved ones from unnecessary stress, confusion, and potential disputes during an already emotional time. Creating a will is a simple, but powerful way to provide clarity, security, and peace of mind for the future.
Effective gift and estate tax planning is crucial because it allows individuals to strategically transfer wealth to your heirs or beneficiaries while minimizing or eliminating federal gift and estate taxes, preserving more of the family’s assets for future generations.
Having a healthcare proxy and living will ensure your voice is heard even if you can’t speak for yourself. They guide your loved ones and medical team through difficult decisions with clarity, reducing stress and conflict during emotional moments. Planning ahead isn’t about expecting the worst—it’s about protecting your wishes and giving your family peace of mind.
Power of attorney isn’t just paperwork—it’s peace of mind. You are legally authorizing someone you trust to make financial or medical decisions on your behalf; you stay protected if illness, injury, or unexpected events leave you unable to act. Planning ahead today can spare your loved one’s stress, confusion, and costly court proceedings tomorrow.

Hear from Our Happy Clients
Donald Muka Ruben and his team did an excellent job on my case. I never thought that all the process would be that easy, even though my case was difficult but with his experience and expertise everything went well. Very responsible and answer your question right away. Definitely would recommend anyone that need help in the process of the divorce. thank you Mahnoor Rana Ruben was my lawyer for my divorce case. One of the biggest reasons I choose him was that he understood what I had been through and openly let me know my options while also sounding like he genuinely cared. Which alot of other lawyers didn't - for them it was just a job- and I was another client who's relationship has gone south. I appreciated Ruben for letting me know that he would support me and fight the case for me depending on what I was okay with. Thank you for your help and kindness through the toughest year of my life. tunji ishau I can not describe Ruben with words, He is a top top professional, respectful, trustworthy, and more. He is a life saver. I will recommend him any day. All I can say to him is thank you. If you need a savior lawyer find him. Mohammed tohamy Ruben has provided me with a worry free experience. He told me what to expect, what to fix, and guided me in ways I didn't understand. He truly is a respectful and honest person in a time of need and reliability. Thank you again for everything you have done for me! ENC Ruben Stepanian was patience and attentive to my needs. Ruben listened to my needs and concerns and was instrumental in sorting out my marriage issues. My personal happiness was his priority rather than his financial gain. I am thankful my marriage was saved. Nune Arsenyan It was very easy to work and communicate with Ruben. He was always able to cool down emotions and help to come up with the best possible long term decisions in kids best interest. In general, handled the case in a very professional and timely manner with the sense of ownership. Pedro O. Mejia My previous attorney told me once: "You are a man in the Family Court of NYC - You're going to lose!" and for someone with no previous experience navigating the legal system, those words can be catastrophic. I searched online and finding Ruben is one the best things that have happened to me. Since my first phone call, he was very responsive. He listened. He took the time to explain everything and set the expectations right from the beginning with my custody situation and other bogus accusations. In my moments of despair, he kept me grounded. A straight shooter who will cut through fallacy from people who forgot what integrity is. He knows the law inside-out and will make sure you understand it as well. He's kind and considerate as opposed to any other lawyers whose only goal is to take your money. I could ramble all day about this, but I will conclude by saying: Ruben Stepanian is the best divorce attorney there is. Jamie Forbes Let’s face it…divorce is terrible. It’s hard. It’s painful. All of it is just the worst. Ruben not only acknowledged that, but was gracious and professional throughout the 2 years it took to have it made official. He communicated, responded, updated : all the things we want in every other facet of our lives. In the most painful years of my life, Ruben softened the blow. I’m forever grateful for him.
