Estate Planning: Essential For Everyone

If you have arrived at this webpage because you wonder how to be proactive about the legacy you will someday leave behind, we applaud your thoughtful approach. Peace of mind is priceless.

Founded in 1971, our law firm has welcomed multiple generations of clients who have come through our doors. We are keenly aware of the difference it can make when a business owner, farmer, educator or any New Jersey resident gives estate planning the place it deserves in a lifetime of work and purpose.

We work hard to guide clients to brighter days ahead in many areas of life such as educational careers, agribusiness development and land ownership. Within these and other contexts, we appreciate every opportunity to integrate estate planning into our general counsel.

We also help those who are responsible for administering loved ones’ estates in accordance with decedents’ wishes.

Estate Planning And Administration Services Provided By Trustworthy, Respected Attorneys

For those creating or updating estate plans, we assist with the following:

  • Powers of attorney and health care directives
  • Wills and trusts
  • Guardianships and conservatorships
  • Alignment of personal estate planning and business succession planning

For trustees and executors (personal representatives) who are handling family members’ or close friends’ estates, we offer step-by-step guidance through all essential steps in the estate administration process.

Addressing Common Challenges

If a will contest or another form of probate litigation comes about, we often succeed at resolving such disputes expeditiously. We are always aware of the importance of protecting estates from excessive losses through unnecessary legal fees.

What if your loved one died without an estate plan in place? While this may present complications, our team will help you take care of the estate with respect for the deceased person’s values and legacy.
