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.
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.

We begin with a detailed conversation about your family, assets, concerns, and goals. You receive clear answers to your estate planning questions and practical guidance.

We analyze your circumstances and recommend a customized strategy using wills, trusts, asset protection planning, and incapacity documents tailored to New York or Florida law.

Your estate planning documents are carefully drafted with precision and clarity. We ensure each provision reflects your wishes and protects your beneficiaries properly.

We walk through your documents together in plain language. You understand exactly how your plan works and how it avoids probate and confusion.

Life changes. We remain available to update your estate plan as your family grows, assets evolve, or laws change in New York or Florida.
Preparing for your estate planning consultation allows us to provide focused, strategic guidance. Bringing organized information helps us create a customized plan that protects your assets, avoids probate, and reflects your long-term goals.
