CzepigaDalyDillman is a Central Connecticut law firm with offices in Newington and Wethersfield. We concentrate our practice on Elder Law, Estate Planning, and Estate Administration and we also assist our clients with Corporate and Real Estate law. This concentration allows us to focus or energies and talents on our client’s individual needs and well being, ensuring that we tailor or advice to our client’s unique concerns. We do not take a “one size fits all” approach to our advice and realize that each of our clients has concerns that differ from those that their friends, relatives, or neighbors might have. We take a “hands on” approach and provide a personal touch—you are not “handed off” to a staff person. We care for our clients as we would for our own family members.

Whether the need is for a Durable Power of Attorney, Last Will and Testament, Living Will, Health Care Directive, Trust or Medicaid or Asset Protection Plan, we will provide a solution in a manner that you understand, that suits your needs, and is up to date. We can help to save money even for our clients who are in a nursing home. Our feeling is that it is never too late to help a client and that we can always do something to enhance their personal lives or to save them money on taxes or nursing home costs.

We also have a former nursing home administrator on staff and a geriatric care manager as well so we can help our clients and their families with putting into place an appropriate care plan whether the necessary care is at home, at an assisted living facility, or at a nursing home.

Our estate planning practice includes drafting documents that meet your unique needs, such as dealing with a family vacation home, a closely held business, a special needs child or disabled beneficiary. We build into our Wills and Trusts provisions to avoid or reduce estate and inheritance taxes and use Living Trusts (also known as revocable trusts) to avoid the probate court process. We draft special needs trusts and supplemental needs trusts for beneficiaries who cannot or should not manage their own.

For those clients who need our estate administration services, we assist them with navigating or avoiding the probate court process and with filing estate, inheritance, and income tax returns. Our estate administration practice ensures that tax and probate filings are timely made and that our clients take full advantage of all available strategies to reduce the cost and expense of probate and inheritance and estate taxes. We will appear in Court on our client’s behalf on contested matters such as Will contests and Involuntary Conservatorships and will litigate any disputes in Court as appropriate.
