Family & Divorce Law Legal Services In NYC & New York
Are You Facing A Major Life Event Or Changes To Your Family Unit? Talk With An NYC Family Lawyer Today.
Life Happens. Births and deaths, marriages and divorces, pandemics and illnesses – these are all, for the most part, inescapable parts of our lives.
However, there are significant financial and other very impactful consequences that these major life events can have on us.
While we live in a free society and there is the concept of individual free will, there are also laws and regulations that govern some of the things we can and cannot do, and the rights and obligations we have when some of these events occur.
For all such monumental times in your life, the Law Office of H. Rebecca Chan, PLLC is here to offer dedicated, fair and compassionate legal advisory and counsel to ensure that you stay on the right side of the law, that your family legal matters are well taken care of, and that your best interests and those of your loved ones are secured.
What Is Family Law?
Family law is an umbrella term for a wide range of laws and legal practices that relate to family matters that can be adjudicated based on existing laws.
Some of those scenarios include, but are not limited to, Estate Planning and Administration, Probate Matters, Divorces, separations, Civil Unions and Domestic Partnerships, and more.
How Does An Attorney Help In Family Related Transactions?
An attorney will help you navigate the very sensitive negotiations and agreements that are necessary in most cases of this nature.
They will provide good counsel to help all parties in a dispute or negotiation, come to agreeable arrangements.
They will help to draft legally binding documents and deeds that will protect your interests or that of your beneficiaries or heirs in cases of disputes or if things get to the point of litigation.
Having the support of a lawyer can be invaluable in making the best decisions at what is often a very difficult time.
When Do I Need A Lawyer?
The moment some of these major life events seem imminent is the time to begin to consult with a lawyer that is available to practice and provides legal services in matters related to family law.
If a wedding or divorce is on the horizon, that’s a very good time to start to consult with a lawyer about prenuptial or postnuptial agreements.
When a baby is on the way, a marriage takes place, a home is purchased, or a family member falls ill, it is often an ideal time to start to plan for a will or to update one.
If an elderly family member is starting to fail, you might want to start having conversations about health care proxy matters or powers of attorney.
The scenarios relating to family law are very broad and wide-ranging.
However, it is always a good idea to start to plan for these situations sooner rather than later, before they’ve come to a head, so you can approach making decisions with a clear head and less emotional intensity that could potentially cloud your ability to make a sensible decision.
What Should I Look Out For In An Attorney Or Law Firm To Handle My Family Law Matters?
For the often painful and sensitive nature of some of the cases that are involved in family law, you want a lawyer that has the sensitivity to work with you through what might be a very difficult time and process.
You want a lawyer that doesn’t view your case as just another business transaction, but understands that when, for instance, a family unit is breaking up this can be a very traumatic experience for all parties involved.
Such a lawyer will be able to provide confidential and compassionate counsel to make sure reasonable agreements can be reached that are fair all around and will not increase the acrimoniousness of what might be an already tense situation.
However, it’s also very important to hire an attorney that is available to practice in that area of law and understands the laws that pertain in the state of New York.
For two decades, The Law Office of H. Rebecca Chan, has been actively practicing in the area of family law, helping families in New York successfully navigate these very sensitive legal issues, and find satisfactory resolutions to their cases.
