At Schum & Werner, PLLC, we are a team of experienced attorneys dedicated to providing exceptional legal services to individuals and businesses in Spencerport, New York, and surrounding communities. For almost 70 years, our law firm has been committed to delivering personalized service and customized legal solutions to our clients.

Our Focus

Our firm's history dates back to 1951, when Kennedy and Schum founded the practice. Over the years, we have evolved to become a respected and knowledgeable authority on all aspects of estate planning, real estate law, business law, and elder law. Our experienced attorneys work closely with clients to develop tailored plans that address their unique needs and goals.

Estate Planning Services

Estate planning touches upon many areas of life - financial, health situation, and family dynamics. We offer a caring and professional space for you to comfortably discuss these highly personal matters. Our estate planning services include wills and testaments, living trusts, health care proxies, living wills, insurance trusts, probate matters, powers of attorney over your assets, conservatorships, and healthcare directives. Our goal is to provide peace of mind for you and your family's future.

Estate Administration & Probate

Probate and estate administration are legal processes by which a deceased person's assets are passed to beneficiaries named in a will. Estate planning lawyers can insure that the assets of the person who has passed are distributed to the person(s) they wish. When a person did not leave a will, the courts will decide how property and assets are distributed. Our attorneys understand what a difficult time this can be and we are here to guide you - step by step - through the estate administration and probate process.

Real Estate Transaction Services

If you're looking to purchase or sell a property, or if you need financing advice, Schum & Werner is the real estate attorney to call to ensure that all aspects of your transactions go smoothly. Our real estate attorneys can assist in both residential and commercial real estate transactions, including drafting contracts and legal documents, dealing with construction and development issues, and attending your closing appointment, and much more.

Business Law Services

Schum & Werner offers responsive and cost-effective legal services for business clients - whether they are forming a new business or have a well-established one. Our attorneys are skilled at identifying and resolving legal issues that may arise throughout the life of our clients' businesses. We also stay current with any changes in the law and adjust legal strategies, if necessary.

Elder Law Services

With people living longer today than ever before, many seniors are having to live on a modest fixed income. Others worry that their savings will be eaten up by the costs of long-term healthcare and nursing home costs. We understand the concerns facing our elderly clients, so we work closely with them to help them protect their assets and plan for their future healthcare and financial needs, should they be unable to care for themselves or become disabled.

Municipal Law Services

At Schum & Werner, we understand the unique needs of municipalities and public entities. Our attorneys have extensive experience in representing municipalities, school districts, and other public entities in various legal matters, including land use, zoning, and procurement issues.
