Anthony C. Santopolo Jr., Estate Planning Lawyer in Buffalo, NY and Florida

Protecting Your Assets. Preserving Your Legacy.

At Santopolo Law, PLLC, I work closely with families in Western New York and Florida’s Gulf Coast to build clear, coordinated estate plans that truly support them when life changes. Whether you’re a busy parent in Buffalo, a retiree in Bradenton, or a snowbird splitting time between both states, your plan needs to account for different laws, different probate systems, and different risks.

That’s where we stand apart. Through our Life & Legacy Planning® approach, I take the time to understand your family dynamics, your assets, and what matters most to you. Then, as a firm, we craft a customized strategy using wills, revocable living trusts, powers of attorney, health care directives, and guardianship nominations tailored to your specific situation.

Every plan we draft is designed to help your family avoid probate where possible, reduce conflict, and keep loved ones out of court. And with flat‑fee pricing for attorney’s fees, you’ll always know what to expect.

Structured Planning With Personal Guidance

Our guided process is designed to remove confusion and provide clarity at every stage, so you feel supported, informed, and confident in your estate plan.
