Estate Planning and Administration

Every New Jerseyan needs a comprehensive estate plan.  If you die without a will, it means you have died "intestate" (without a will).

WHAT HAPPENS?

  • The state where you resided will determine how your property is distributed. This may include any bank accounts, securities, real estate, and other assets you own at the time of death.
  • The state will decide how the financial welfare and care of your children will be handled after your death.
  • After you have passed, your heirs will be forced to spend additional time, money, and emotional energy to settle your affairs, which could take years.
  • Your assets can end up not in the hands of the people you wanted but in the hands of people you don't want to have them.
  • You will be unable to leave gifts and charitable donations you care about.
  • Without a Last Will and Testament, you cannot prevent family squabbles and disputes by ensuring that your property and assets are distributed according to your wishes.

Make an estate plan so you can have peace of mind that your advanced planning may prevent family disputes, avoid inheritance taxes, maximize and protect the assets available to loved ones, and avoid litigation.
