Michael Hochfelsen

Michael A. Hochfelsen is director of trusts and estate planning at Skye Legacy Planning, LLC., in Farmingdale, New York. He oversees the legal planning and drafting operations of the firm’s trusts and estates department. His listed areas of concentration encompass estate planning as well as life and disability insurance.

Insurance work connects his legal background with the needs of two groups: private clients and financial advisors at large national financial institutions. In describing that work, his firm biography identifies assistance with life and disability insurance needs, rather than estate planning alone.

Before joining Skye, Hochfelsen worked in both a private law firm and a corporate bank. His career began with wills, trusts and estates work in private practice. He subsequently moved to the trusts and estates division of a Fortune 500 bank, then brought his estate planning and document-drafting background to Skye.

His firm biography lists admission to practice law in New York and New Jersey, together with insurance and securities licenses. It also identifies him as a member of the Professional Life Advisor Network, known as PLAN, through Skye Legacy Planning. The charitable organizations listed in his biography are the Cancer Research & Treatment Foundation, Inc., Visions and the NYBKW Charitable Foundation.
