KENNETH R. HAAS, TRUST & ESTATES ATTORNEY AT LAW
I am an attorney who specializes in estate planning, estate administration, and real estate matters. Okay, I am going to stop here for a moment because you may be asking yourself “so what”? Since you can go to any attorney website and learn about some really good lawyers telling you about wills, trusts and all sorts of wonderful estate planning documents, which I must stress despite my lightheartedness are extremely important, I will try to answer the question “so what”? Just like those other attorneys, I have lots of experience (20 years in these areas) and a good education (BA from the University of Chicago, JD from Brooklyn Law School and LLM in Taxation from New York University).
THE FIRM
Our firm is conveniently located in Midtown Manhattan, on 1185 Avenue of the Americas, Third Floor, New York, NY 10036. We are 2 blocks from Times Square and close to all public transportation making it an easy commute. Should you need, we can also travel to your home or office, simply call our email us to schedule an appointment.
I also have the ability to draft excellent documents that will provide you with security and the knowledge that you are doing what is best for your family, but what you get with me are things that are not as tangible but of equal value and importance. You will get my personal attention, quick response time, an ability to explain matters simply, flexible hours and a team of other professionals that will meet all of your estate planning related needs (i.e. financial planning, retirement planning, life insurance, mortgage, etc.). In many circumstances, I will be the first attorney that you retain, and I will make sure that your experience is one that negates the typical stereotype of stuffy, unapproachable and overpriced lawyers.
Estate planning is the design of a plan meant to preserve, protect and transfer assets upon your death. The loss of a loved one is a traumatic experience and an emotionally difficult time for a family. A significant portion of my practice is devoted to drafting last wills and testaments for couples and individuals.
Imagine that something happens in your world either by choice or accident where you are not in a position to make an important and critical decision. In addition to the many other legal services I provide, I also do a great deal of work establishing trusts for my clients

“I’ve recommended numerous clients of my firm, who were in need of an estate planning attorney, to Ken. I continue to do so because I’m always confident that he will provide them with outstanding representation and advice, and that reflects well on me as well. Ken has never let me or my clients down.”
