Glen Head – estate planning attorney near me (11545)

At Morgan Legal Group, we understand that thinking about the future, particularly beyond one’s own lifetime or in times of potential incapacity, can feel daunting. However, estate planning is not about anticipating the worst; it is about building a secure foundation for your loved ones and ensuring your wishes are honored, no matter what life brings. With over three decades of experience serving families and individuals across New York, our firm stands as a beacon of trust and expertise in this vital field.

As we navigate 2026, the landscape of New York State and federal laws regarding estates, taxes, and elder care continues to evolve. Our systematic and holistic approach ensures that your estate planning strategy is not just current, but also robust and tailored specifically to your unique circumstances and goals. We believe in crafting comprehensive plans that address not only the distribution of your assets after death but also your care and financial management during life, should incapacity strike.

The Core of Comprehensive Estate Planning in New York

Many people mistakenly believe that estate planning simply means drafting a Will. While a Last Will and Testament is a crucial component, it represents only one piece of a much larger, intricate puzzle. A truly comprehensive Estate Planning strategy encompasses a wide array of legal tools and considerations, designed to protect your assets, minimize tax burdens, and provide for your loved ones efficiently and privately.

For residents of Glen Head, 11545, and throughout all New York counties, our approach is meticulous. We delve deep into your personal and financial situation, understanding your family dynamics, your asset portfolio, and your long-term aspirations. This personalized attention allows us to develop a strategy that reflects your values and secures your legacy. Our core considerations, which form the bedrock of our estate planning services, include:

• Strategic Asset Transfer: Ensuring your wealth passes to your chosen beneficiaries as intended, precisely when and how you desire, and avoiding unnecessary delays.
• Probate Minimization and Avoidance: Designing your estate to bypass the potentially lengthy, costly, and public probate process in New York Surrogate’s Courts, thereby streamlining asset distribution.
• Robust Asset Protection: Shielding your wealth from unforeseen threats, including the exorbitant costs of long-term care, potential creditors, and legal judgments, preserving it for your heirs.
• Proactive Incapacity Planning: Appointing trusted agents to manage your medical and financial affairs seamlessly if you become unable to make decisions for yourself, avoiding court-ordered Guardianship.
• Astute Tax Planning: Strategically reducing the impact of New York State and federal estate taxes, ensuring a greater portion of your wealth passes to your beneficiaries rather than the government.
• Guardianship Planning: Meticulously providing for the care and financial well-being of minor children or incapacitated adults, ensuring they are protected by individuals you select.
• Elder Law Considerations: Navigating the complex world of Medicaid eligibility, long-term care planning, and protecting the rights and dignity of older adults.

Pillar 1: The Foundation – Wills and Trusts for New Yorkers

At the heart of any solid estate planning strategy are the instruments that dictate the transfer of your wealth and the care of your loved ones: Wills and Trusts. Our firm specializes in crafting these documents with precision, ensuring they align with your wishes and New York State law.

The Last Will and Testament: A Crucial Directive

A Will is a legally binding document that expresses your final wishes concerning the distribution of your property and the care of minor children upon your death. It designates an Executor, the individual or entity responsible for carrying out the terms of your Will, and specifies beneficiaries for your assets. For parents of minor children, a Will is particularly vital as it allows you to nominate guardians, providing peace of mind that your children will be cared for by someone you trust implicitly. Without a Will, a court will decide who raises your children, often based on statutory preferences rather than your personal choices.

However, it is critical to understand that a Will only controls assets held solely in your name and without a designated beneficiary. Assets like jointly owned property, life insurance policies with named beneficiaries, or retirement accounts often bypass the Will entirely. While indispensable, a Will alone is often insufficient for comprehensive estate planning, especially in New York’s complex legal environment. Our attorneys help you identify all your assets and ensure they are aligned with your overall estate plan.

Many New Yorkers attempt to draft their own Wills using online templates. While seemingly cost-effective, this approach carries significant risks. A poorly drafted Will can lead to lengthy and expensive probate proceedings, unintended beneficiaries, or even complete invalidation, leaving your estate subject to New York’s intestacy laws. Our experienced attorneys ensure your Will is legally sound, unambiguous, and accurately reflects your intentions, protecting your legacy from potential disputes. We meticulously review every clause to prevent ambiguities that could lead to costly litigation for your family.

Understanding Trusts: Flexibility, Privacy, and Control

Trusts are incredibly versatile estate planning tools that can achieve objectives a Will cannot. A trust involves three key parties: the Grantor (you, the creator of the trust), the Trustee (the individual or institution who manages the trust assets), and the Beneficiary (the person or entity who benefits from the trust). By transferring assets into a trust, you create a separate legal entity that holds and manages those assets according to your specific instructions. This structure offers a level of control and protection unmatched by a simple Will.

Our firm, Morgan Legal Group, guides clients through the various types of trusts, helping them select the most appropriate vehicles for their goals. Whether it’s avoiding probate, protecting assets from creditors, planning for potential incapacity, or minimizing estate taxes, Wills and Trusts offer powerful solutions. Trusts are not just for the ultra-wealthy; many families find them invaluable for ensuring privacy and efficient asset transfer, particularly in an evolving economic climate.

Revocable Living Trusts: Avoiding Probate and Ensuring Privacy

A Revocable Living Trust is a dynamic estate planning tool that allows you, as the Grantor, to maintain complete control over your assets during your lifetime. You can amend or revoke the trust at any time, making it incredibly flexible. The primary advantage of a Revocable Living Trust in New York is its ability to bypass probate. Assets held within the trust pass directly to your beneficiaries upon your death, often much faster and more privately than assets distributed through a Will, which must undergo public court proceedings.

Beyond probate avoidance, a Revocable Living Trust offers significant benefits for incapacity planning. You can name a successor Trustee who will seamlessly step in to manage your financial affairs if you become incapacitated, preventing the need for court-ordered Guardianship. This continuity of management ensures your bills are paid and your investments are handled without interruption, preserving your dignity and financial well-being. This proactive step provides immense relief to your family during challenging times.

Irrevocable Trusts: Advanced Asset Protection and Tax Planning

In contrast to revocable trusts, Irrevocable Trusts, once established, generally cannot be altered or terminated without the consent of the beneficiary, and you relinquish control over the assets transferred into them. While this loss of control might seem daunting, the benefits of an Irrevocable Trust are substantial, particularly for advanced asset protection and estate tax minimization. These trusts are often central to comprehensive NYC Elder Law and Medicaid planning strategies, requiring careful consideration and expert guidance.

Common types of Irrevocable Trusts we frequently establish for our New York clients include:

• Medicaid Asset Protection Trusts (MAPTs): Designed to protect assets from long-term care costs while allowing you to qualify for Medicaid. We will discuss these in detail in the asset protection section.
• Irrevocable Life Insurance Trusts (ILITs): Used to remove life insurance proceeds from your taxable estate, ensuring the death benefit passes to your beneficiaries free of estate tax.
• Charitable Trusts: Allow you to make substantial gifts to charities while potentially receiving income or estate tax benefits.
• Special Needs Trusts (SNTs): Essential for providing for loved ones with disabilities without jeopardizing their eligibility for government benefits like Medicaid or Supplemental Security Income (SSI).

Each serves a distinct purpose, from shielding assets from long-term care costs to removing life insurance proceeds from your taxable estate. Our attorneys work closely with you to determine if an Irrevocable Trust aligns with your long-term goals and risk tolerance, ensuring it integrates seamlessly into your overall estate planning strategy.

Pillar 2: Navigating Incapacity – Planning for Life’s Uncertainties

One of the most profound fears many New Yorkers face is the potential loss of control over their financial and medical decisions due to illness or accident. Incapacity planning is a critical, yet often overlooked, component of estate planning. It ensures that if you are ever unable to manage your own affairs, trusted individuals you appoint will step in to act on your behalf, without the need for court intervention. This proactive approach saves your family immense stress, time, and expense.

The reality is that incapacity can strike at any age, not just in advanced years. A sudden accident, a debilitating illness, or the gradual progression of cognitive disorders can render you unable to make sound decisions. Without proper planning, your family may be forced to initiate a costly and emotionally taxing Guardianship proceeding in New York’s Surrogate’s Court or Supreme Court, a process that can be public, time-consuming, and may result in a court-appointed decision-maker who is not your first choice. We help you avoid this by putting legally sound documents in place.

Durable Financial Power of Attorney: Your Financial Steward

A Durable Financial Power of Attorney (POA) is a foundational document that allows you to designate an agent to manage your financial matters if you become incapacitated. This agent can pay bills, manage investments, file taxes, and handle other financial transactions on your behalf. In New York, it is crucial that the Power of Attorney is explicitly declared “durable,” meaning it remains effective even if you become incapacitated. This ensures a seamless transition of financial management without court involvement.

Furthermore, New York law requires a Statutory Major Gifts Rider if you wish to grant your agent the power to make significant gifts on your behalf, a crucial element for certain Medicaid planning strategies and tax minimization. Our firm guides you through selecting a trustworthy agent and clearly defining the scope of their authority, preventing potential abuse and ensuring your financial well-being is in capable hands. We emphasize choosing someone utterly reliable, as the powers granted are significant.

Healthcare Directives: Protecting Your Medical Wishes

Beyond financial matters, planning for your healthcare decisions during incapacity is equally vital. New York law provides several powerful tools to ensure your medical wishes are respected, ensuring your autonomy even when you cannot voice it:

• Health Care Proxy: This document allows you to appoint a healthcare agent to make medical decisions for you if you cannot communicate them yourself. Your agent will consult with your doctors and make choices consistent with your values and previously expressed wishes, acting as your voice in critical moments.
• Living Will: A Living Will expresses your specific preferences regarding end-of-life medical treatment, such as the use of artificial life support, feeding tubes, or resuscitation. It serves as a clear directive to your healthcare providers and agent, alleviating the burden of difficult decisions from your family during a stressful time. It is your personal statement on the nature of your final care.
• HIPAA Authorization: The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) protects the privacy of your medical information. A HIPAA authorization allows your chosen agents and family members to access your medical records and speak with your doctors, ensuring they have the information necessary to make informed decisions on your behalf without legal barriers.

These documents work in tandem to provide comprehensive protection, ensuring that both your financial and medical well-being are managed according to your wishes, preserving your autonomy and providing peace of mind to your loved ones. We meticulously draft each of these directives, ensuring they comply with all New York State statutes.

Pillar 3: Asset Protection and Medicaid Planning – Preserving Your Legacy

One of the most significant concerns for many New Yorkers, particularly as they age, is how to protect their hard-earned assets from the escalating costs of long-term care and other potential threats. Nursing home care in New York can easily exceed $16,000 to $18,000 per month in 2026, costs that can rapidly deplete a lifetime of savings. At Morgan Legal Group, we specialize in advanced asset protection strategies and NYC Elder Law planning to safeguard your legacy and ensure your financial security.

The Threat to Assets: Long-Term Care, Creditors, and Lawsuits

Beyond the immediate financial costs of long-term care, assets can also be vulnerable to creditors, lawsuits, or unforeseen life events. Without proper planning, your estate could face substantial erosion, leaving little to pass on to your heirs. Our firm helps identify these risks and implements proactive measures to insulate your wealth, ensuring it serves your family’s future. We understand that asset protection is not a one-size-fits-all solution; it requires a tailored approach based on your specific circumstances and goals.

A critical aspect of asset protection involves understanding the difference between exempt and non-exempt assets under New York law, particularly in the context of Medicaid eligibility. While some assets like a primary residence (up to certain equity limits, typically around $1,033,000 for 2026, subject to annual adjustment), one car, and certain personal belongings may be protected, significant liquid assets are often at risk without strategic intervention. We guide you through these complexities.

Medicaid Planning in New York: Navigating Eligibility Rules for 2026

Medicaid is a government program that can cover the cost of long-term care, but it has strict asset and income eligibility requirements. For 2026, the look-back period for nursing home care remains 60 months, meaning Medicaid will review all financial transactions made within the five years prior to your application date. Any transfers of assets for less than fair market value during this period can result in a penalty period, during which Medicaid will not pay for care. This penalty can be devastating if not anticipated and planned for.

For home care services, New York State currently has a shorter look-back period (30 months, as implemented in 2024, and assumed to continue into 2026). Understanding these look-back periods and implementing timely planning strategies is paramount. For 2026, the community Medicaid asset limit for a single individual is estimated to be approximately $30,800, and for a married couple, about $61,600. Income limits also apply, estimated around $1,770 for a single individual. Our firm excels in guiding clients through the intricacies of Medicaid eligibility, helping them structure their assets to qualify for essential care without entirely impoverishing themselves or their spouse, through strategies like spousal impoverishment rules and income trusts.

Medicaid Asset Protection Trusts (MAPTs): A Powerful Tool

One of the most effective strategies for protecting assets while qualifying for Medicaid is establishing a Medicaid Asset Protection Trust (MAPT). This is an Irrevocable Trust designed specifically to hold assets outside of your countable estate for Medicaid purposes. By transferring assets into a MAPT, you begin the look-back period for Medicaid. Once the relevant look-back period (60 months for nursing home, 30 months for home care) has passed, those assets are protected and will not be counted against your Medicaid eligibility.

While you relinquish direct ownership of assets placed into a MAPT, you can retain certain rights, such as the right to live in your home if it’s transferred, or to receive income from the trust (though typically not principal, to maintain Medicaid eligibility). The timing of establishing a MAPT is critical, as proactive planning far in advance of needing care is most effective. Waiting until the last minute can severely limit your options. Our NYC Elder Law attorneys are adept at designing and implementing MAPTs tailored to your family’s unique situation, ensuring maximum asset protection.

Pillar 4: Probate & Estate Administration – Navigating the Surrogate’s Court

When a loved one passes away, their estate must go through a legal process to settle their affairs and distribute their assets. In New York, this process is known as Probate & Administration, which takes place in the Surrogate’s Court. This can be a complex and often emotionally draining experience for families, especially during a time of grief. Our firm provides compassionate and efficient representation to guide you through every step of this journey.

Understanding the Probate Process in New York

Probate is the legal process of proving the validity of a deceased person’s Last Will and Testament. If a valid Will exists, the court will appoint the Executor named in the Will to carry out its terms. The Executor’s responsibilities include:

• Identifying and gathering all estate assets.
• Paying debts, taxes, and administrative expenses.
• Distributing the remaining assets to the beneficiaries named in the Will.
• Providing an accounting to the court and beneficiaries.

The probate process can be time-consuming, often taking 9-18 months or even longer, depending on the complexity of the estate, potential disputes, and the specific court calendar. It also involves various court fees, attorney fees, and executor commissions, all of which reduce the inheritance received by beneficiaries. Our goal at Morgan Legal Group is to streamline this process, minimizing delays and expenses for your family.

Estate Administration When There is No Will

If a person dies without a valid Will, they are said to have died “intestate.” In such cases, the estate must still go through a court process called Administration. The Surrogate’s Court will appoint an Administrator (typically a close family member) to manage and distribute the estate assets according to New York’s intestacy laws. These laws dictate a rigid order of inheritance, which may not align with the deceased person’s actual wishes.

For example, without a Will, a surviving spouse might not inherit the entire estate if there are also children, or domestic partners may receive nothing. This lack of control underscores the critical importance of a properly drafted Will as part of comprehensive estate planning. Our firm assists families in navigating these probate and administration proceedings, ensuring compliance with all legal requirements and advocating for our clients’ best interests.

Contested Estates and Litigation

Unfortunately, not all estates proceed smoothly. Disputes can arise regarding the validity of a Will, the interpretation of its terms, the actions of an Executor or Administrator, or claims against the estate. These situations can lead to contentious and costly probate litigation. Our attorneys have extensive experience representing clients in complex Surrogate’s Court disputes, including:

• Will contests (challenging a Will based on undue influence, lack of capacity, or improper execution).
• Accounting proceedings (challenging an Executor’s or Administrator’s handling of estate assets).
• Spousal elective share claims.
• Discovery proceedings to recover concealed assets.

When conflicts arise, you need tenacious and skilled legal representation. Morgan Legal Group provides robust advocacy, working diligently to protect your rights and achieve favorable outcomes in all probate and estate administration matters.

Pillar 5: Guardianship – Protecting Vulnerable Individuals

Guardianship is a legal process initiated in New York courts to appoint a person or entity (the guardian) to make decisions for an individual (the incapacitated person or ward) who is no longer able to manage their own personal or financial affairs. While proactive incapacity planning documents like Powers of Attorney and Health Care Proxies can often avert the need for guardianship, circumstances sometimes necessitate this court intervention. Our firm provides expert guidance and representation in all types of Guardianship proceedings.

Types of Guardianship in New York

New York State law provides for different forms of guardianship, each designed for specific situations:

• Article 81 Guardianship: This is the most common form of adult guardianship, initiated in the Supreme Court. An Article 81 guardian is appointed for an incapacitated person who, because of functional limitations, is unable to provide for personal needs or manage property. The court customizes the guardian’s powers based on the ward’s specific needs, promoting the least restrictive intervention possible.
• Article 17 Guardianship: Governed by the Surrogate’s Court, Article 17 guardians are appointed for minors (individuals under 18 years old) to manage their property or person. This is often necessary if minor children inherit substantial assets or when their parents are unable to care for them.
• Article 17-A Guardianship: Also in Surrogate’s Court, Article 17-A provides for guardianships for individuals with intellectual or developmental disabilities, regardless of age. This type of guardianship is typically for the entire lifetime of the person with a disability.

Each type involves distinct legal procedures, requiring precise adherence to court rules and statutory requirements. Our attorneys possess the specialized knowledge to navigate these complex proceedings, whether you are petitioning for guardianship or seeking to protect the rights of an alleged incapacitated person.

The Guardianship Process: What to Expect

Petitioning for Guardianship is a serious undertaking. The process typically involves filing a petition with the appropriate court, followed by investigations by court-appointed evaluators, legal counsel for the alleged incapacitated person, and ultimately, a court hearing. During this hearing, evidence is presented to demonstrate the individual’s incapacity and the necessity of a guardian.

If a guardian is appointed, they assume significant legal responsibilities, including managing finances, making medical decisions, and ensuring the ward’s well-being. The guardian is accountable to the court and must typically file annual reports. This entire process can be public, costly, and lengthy. This is why our firm strongly emphasizes comprehensive estate planning to proactively appoint agents through a Power of Attorney and Health Care Proxy, thereby often circumventing the need for guardianship altogether.

Pillar 6: Elder Law – Advocating for Seniors and Their Families

Elder Law is a specialized area of practice focused on the unique legal needs of older adults and their families. At Morgan Legal Group, our NYC Elder Law practice encompasses a broad range of services beyond just Medicaid and asset protection, including long-term care planning, elder abuse prevention, and advocacy for senior rights. We are dedicated to ensuring that seniors receive the care they need while preserving their dignity and financial security.

Comprehensive Long-Term Care Planning

Planning for long-term care is one of the most critical aspects of elder law. Given the astronomical costs of nursing home care and home health aides in New York (averaging $16,000-$18,000 per month for nursing homes in 2026), a proactive strategy is indispensable. Our elder law attorneys assist clients with:

• Medicaid Applications and Appeals: Guiding through the complex application process for community and institutional Medicaid, and representing clients in fair hearings if benefits are denied or terminated.
• Spousal Impoverishment Rules: Advising married couples on strategies to protect the non-applicant spouse’s assets and income, ensuring they are not left destitute when one spouse requires long-term care.
• Veteran’s Benefits: Exploring eligibility for VA benefits, such as Aid & Attendance, which can help offset long-term care costs for eligible veterans and their surviving spouses.
• Long-Term Care Insurance Analysis: Reviewing existing policies or advising on the suitability of purchasing long-term care insurance as part of an overall financial plan.

Our holistic approach to long-term care planning ensures that all available resources and strategies are considered to achieve the best possible outcome for our senior clients and their families. This is a complex area where expert legal advice is not just beneficial, but often essential.

Protecting Seniors from Abuse and Exploitation

Sadly, elder abuse is a growing concern in our society. Financial exploitation, physical abuse, emotional abuse, and neglect can devastate a senior’s life and their estate planning efforts. Our firm is committed to protecting vulnerable seniors from these predatory practices. We provide legal assistance in cases of Elder Abuse, including:

• Identifying and reporting instances of abuse to appropriate authorities.
• Seeking legal remedies to recover stolen assets or undo fraudulent transfers.
• Challenging suspicious changes to Wills, Trusts, or Powers of Attorney made under duress or undue influence.
• Working with families to secure safe living environments and appropriate care for victims.

If you suspect a loved one is a victim of elder abuse, it is crucial to act quickly. Morgan Legal Group provides empathetic and decisive legal action to protect the rights and well-being of our senior clients. We work closely with Adult Protective Services and other agencies to ensure comprehensive protection.

Special Needs Planning

For families with a loved one who has a disability, careful planning is essential to ensure they receive proper care and financial support without jeopardizing their eligibility for critical government benefits. Our NYC Elder Law attorneys specialize in creating Special Needs Trusts (SNTs), which allow assets to be held for the benefit of an individual with a disability without counting against their asset limits for Medicaid or Supplemental Security Income (SSI).

These trusts can be funded by the individual with the disability (first-party SNTs) or by family members (third-party SNTs). We also advise on appropriate guardian nominations, ABLE accounts, and other strategies to ensure a secure future for individuals with special needs. This specialized area of estate planning requires deep knowledge of both trust law and government benefit programs.

Pillar 7: Estate Tax Planning – Navigating New York and Federal Thresholds for 2026

Estate taxes can significantly diminish the wealth you intend to pass on to your heirs. Both New York State and the federal government impose taxes on estates that exceed certain exemption thresholds. Effective estate planning with Morgan Legal Group includes sophisticated tax strategies to minimize these burdens for our clients.

New York State Estate Tax (2026)

For 2026, the New York State estate tax exemption is projected to be around $7.1 million (adjusted annually for inflation). Estates valued above this amount are subject to New York’s estate tax, with rates varying up to 16%. Crucially, New York has a “cliff” effect: if your taxable estate exceeds the exemption amount by more than 5%, the entire estate (not just the amount over the exemption) becomes taxable from the first dollar. This can result in a substantially higher tax bill than expected.

We proactively analyze your asset portfolio and implement strategies to stay below this critical threshold or mitigate the tax consequences if your estate is larger. Strategies often include strategic gifting, leveraging the annual exclusion amount, or establishing certain types of trusts that remove assets from your taxable estate while maintaining control during your lifetime.

Federal Estate Tax (2026)

The federal estate tax exemption is substantially higher than New York’s. For 2026, the federal exemption is projected to be around $14.0 million per individual (indexed for inflation). However, it is important to note that the increased exemption amounts enacted under the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 are scheduled to sunset at the end of 2025. This means that, without new legislation, the federal estate tax exemption could revert to approximately half its current level for estates of individuals dying on or after January 1, 2026. This potential change makes federal estate tax planning particularly dynamic and requires immediate attention for high-net-worth individuals.

Our firm keeps abreast of all legislative changes and advises clients on how best to prepare for potential shifts in federal estate tax law. Strategies for reducing federal estate tax liability often involve:

• Gifting Strategies: Utilizing the annual gift tax exclusion (projected to be $18,000 per donee in 2026) to transfer wealth tax-free.
• Marital Deduction: Leveraging the unlimited marital deduction for transfers to a surviving spouse (if a U.S. citizen).
• Charitable Deductions: Making charitable gifts or establishing charitable trusts.
• Irrevocable Life Insurance Trusts (ILITs): As mentioned, these trusts remove life insurance proceeds from your taxable estate.
• Grantor Retained Annuity Trusts (GRATs) and Qualified Personal Residence Trusts (QPRTs): Advanced strategies for transferring appreciating assets out of your estate.

Navigating both New York and federal estate tax laws requires sophisticated planning and ongoing review. Morgan Legal Group provides cutting-edge tax planning advice to preserve your wealth for future generations.

Integrating Other Key Legal Services

While our core focus is estate planning, we recognize that our clients often have needs that intersect with other areas of law. Our holistic approach means we can also assist with related legal matters that are crucial for a truly comprehensive plan:

• Family Law Considerations: Divorce or remarriage can significantly impact an estate planning strategy. We work closely with individuals to update their plans to reflect new family dynamics, ensuring ex-spouses are removed or new spouses are included as intended, and that prenuptial or postnuptial agreements are properly integrated.
• Business Succession Planning: For business owners, their enterprise is often their most valuable asset. We integrate business succession strategies into your overall estate planning, ensuring a smooth transition of ownership and management upon your retirement, incapacity, or death.
• Real Estate Planning: How real estate is titled can have significant implications for probate, asset protection, and taxes. We advise on optimal titling strategies, including deeds, life estates, and transfers to trusts.
• Digital Asset Planning: In our increasingly digital world, access to online accounts, cryptocurrency, and digital photos after your death or incapacity is vital. We help you create plans to manage your digital legacy.
