Arthur J. Conte, Esq.

“One of the best law firms you will find on Long Island, NY, if not the best. I've known Paul Hyl for a number of years and he has always demonstrated kindness and empathy, yet with a sharp legal mind. The other founding partner, Mr. Arthur Conte, will soon be working with me on a different legal matter. All other lawyers and paralegals, and receptionists all seem the same. All I know is that it is fun to visit the offices in person. We all laugh a lot and kid around with each other. A very pleasant way to leave an attorney's office!”

“I highly recommend Hyl Conte Law. I contacted Paul to establish a trust for my parents. Paul was highly professional while demonstrating great concern and patients for my aging parents. I recently started working with Arthur, an expert in his field with the ability to communicate complicated legal topics so you understand and are comfortable with your decisions. You can expect the same professionalism from Kelly and Amanda. Always pleasant, helpful and highly responsive. Thank you team!”

“My family has used Hyl Conte Law Services several times, particularly for their expertise in Elder Care. Arthur Conte takes the time to explain all the details. I recommend him and the Firm.”

An Advocate For The Elderly (Though Not Just!)
Estate planning is sometimes thought of as a concern only for the elderly, and it is certainly true that much of what I do as an estate planning attorney is designed to help you prepare to pass on your wealth and protect your families and loved ones after you go.
But estate planning can also be about setting up plans to care for yourself as you age, caring for those who can no longer care for themselves, and protecting loved ones in the event of an unexpected accident or illness. Thus, contrary to popular belief, it can be important to do some at any and every age, scary as it might be to consider.
Putting Your Estate Planning Fears To Rest
Some of the fear surrounding estate planning is born out of errors, myths, or misconceptions. Even so, I always take these fears seriously and do my very best to dispel them by demystifying the process and its tools.
Other estate planning fears come from the stories you might have heard from neighbors, loved ones, or even the news. Specific problems, like expensive probate conflicts, special needs loved ones left behind, or a friend being unable to get Medicaid to cover long-term elder care, are very real and do occur far too often when families get insufficient or ineffective estate plans.
Fortunately, these are also fears I can help dispel. I do so by proposing and explaining estate planning tools specifically designed to tackle those situations and put the fears to rest.
Straightforward Estate Planning Solutions
One of the most common misconceptions we often have to dispel daily is the idea that estate planning is a one-size-fits-all process. But the reality is that everyone approaches the process with different concerns and priorities, and the solutions need to be adapted to that situation.
Doing so is always a priority for me, as the tools needed by a single mother of two looking to protect her kids should something happen to her are very different from those a wealthy patriarch might seek out to establish a legacy of generational wealth.
As your attorney, I will not only make sure you get the estate planning solutions you need but also that you are able to understand them and how they work, never upselling you on tools you do not need or adding needless complications.
Standing Up For What Is Right And Protecting The Vulnerable
A large part of what I do as an attorney also involves protecting those who cannot protect themselves. Setting up guardianships to allow family members to care for an ailing loved one or seeking justice and protection for elders being taken advantage of or victimized.
These are crucial responsibilities that I do not take lightly, and will treat just as seriously as protecting your wealth or properties. The law, after all, is what makes our society function, and it is my privilege to ensure it protects the most vulnerable.
On The Cutting Edge Of Estate Planning Protections
I was recently honored with a spot on the New York Bar Association executive subcommittee on Elder Care and Special Needs. Not only was this a recognition of the work I have put into the estate planning tools required to protect both vulnerable categories, but it was also a unique chance to be part of the vanguard of that legal process.
I knew from a young age that I wanted to get into law but had not thought I might one day be part of shaping it. Especially not as an advisor and voice for the vulnerable. Nor had I thought that one day, other attorneys would be turning to me to stay up to date on the field. But I am proud that they do and that I can, in turn, also benefit clients like you with that level of experience and insight.
Protect Your Loved Ones Today
It is time to stop being afraid and make sure those you care for are protected if you have to leave them behind. From guardianship solutions for a parent to special needs estate planning for a child or other relative, I can help you put together an estate plan that will ensure you, your legacy and your loved ones are cared for long after you pass.
Start the process by calling today or setting up an online consultation to discuss your fears and what solutions you might need.
