New York spendthrift trusts protect inheritance from beneficiary's creditors, divorces, and bad spending — by limiting beneficiary's right to transfer + restricting creditor access to assets in trust.

New York blended families need careful estate planning to avoid disinheriting biological children when surviving spouse remarries — QTIP trusts, life insurance, and specific structures address the conflict.

New York probate litigation handles disputes over wills, executor conduct, beneficiary rights, and estate administration — including will contests, breach of fiduciary duty, and accounting disputes.
