Ettinger Law Firm outlines estate planning strategies at Trust Summit
Attorney Michael Ettinger discussed the role of long-term estate planning in reducing financial uncertainty for families during a recent industry summit.
During the 2026 Trust Summit hosted by The Wealth Advisor, Michael Ettinger, founder of the Albany-based Ettinger Law Firm, addressed the function of estate planning in modern wealth management. Ettinger emphasized that establishing a structured legal framework can mitigate financial stress for older adults and their beneficiaries.
Ettinger noted that estate plans require periodic review to remain effective as family dynamics and financial regulations evolve. By maintaining updated documentation, individuals can clarify asset distribution and decision-making authority, potentially reducing conflict among heirs.
